Holy crap, Ben! Y’all need to run. Tim Cook’s probably already dispatched an Apple strike team to your house!
😂
Seems your screen has a crack, best we can do is sell you a new watch.
here comes the cease and desist Lawyer letter your not allowed to repair an apple product you never technically own it
Love the idea! I know you've said you didn't want to use the vac chamber as not many people would have access to one, but I think a lot of people would love to see a uv only repair and a uv + vac repair side by side to see the difference. I know I would!
I thought my apple watch was catastrophically cracked (deep shatters all around the rim & a hefty crack running across the entire length of screen) but tried this out with whatever uv resin brand I was able to find at the closest craft store and the results are amazing! Screen still responds to touch everywhere and the screen doesn't feel jagged at all! absolute miracle, thank you!
What do you think would happen if you tried to get perfect trade in score for the watch. Mine has a gouge in it and I want to try this to see if I can trade in my series 6 for a series 9
I'd have used the old vacuum chamber to fill in all those cracks better
I was going to do that but I figured not many people would have a vacuum chamber, this is more of a cheap fix for people who can’t afford a new screen 👍
@@BensWorx Fair point my friend
@@BensWorx how would the watch handle a vacuum?
@@sticustom It has three hands (Hour, minute and second) lots of choices. LOL
@@CurrentElectrical very funny
Holy cow this is amazing! The sensitivity looks like it's not diminished at all, even! Ben you are on another level with this! Heaven forbid I ever break mine I'm going to do just this instead of going out and buying a whole new watch!
Thankyou 😊
Thank you so much! I did it and it feels so much better. I was wondering whether I could have used a pressure cooker to have filled the cracks deeper but I wasn’t sure so I just did it as you did. I don’t have a pressure chamber
Brilliant stuff. I love a good repair rather than throwing stuff in the bin!
Wow! Ben you have inspired me to try out resin for my own hobby projects... i love your ideas and your experiments. I'm gonna try a table top with natural stones. Thank you.
Right! I wasn't planning on trying resin but this video really hit me as a tech guy, and therefore the person people come to when things break.
My boyfriend has a busted up iPhone that I'm dying to try this on. Keeping UV resin around should save so much time, and I'm sure that's how the rabbit hole will start.
Thank you! You saved my watch, this worked beautifully. You have to look really close to see the chip 🙏🙏🙏
This product works great on windshields as well. 👍🏼
Just did this and it works perfectly
this was such a cool idea! i didn't know you could use resins to fix things like these
Nice tip, Ben! Thank you!
I think this is exactly the advice I was looking for. Cheers!
Dude, you saved me a whole heap of cash on my daughter's iPhone!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
You can barely see those cracks on the face of it, nice work on it mate, its good seeing things being fixed in different ways 🙌🙌
Thanks Mate
I have used uv resin to fix a small chip in my windscreen before. Works great. If you can 'force' it into the gaps it's almost invisible
this is great. I am going to use this on one of my older mac's. It's not a touchscreen, so it's just to fill in the cracks. thanks. Brilliant.
Loved this one too.
Thank you for sharing, Ben! Cool idea
Thanks Mate
I’ve seen a similar fix for car windshields. Never thought about using it on a mobile device.
Pretty cool that the watch works!
Yeah
That's pretty cool that it worked man. Great thinking
Absolutely awesome I love a good crossover video 🤘
Nice repair job
Thanks Ben!
Thanks😃 great tip!
Hi Ben, thanks for sharing this cool repair! Do you know if the UV Resin would also seal/protect the screen from water? My watch has a single crack, so I've not been swimming with it, but am hopeful this repair would prevent water from entering/damaging the display.
I would not have thought of this. Thank you.
What a great idea. Well done 👍👍
Thankyou
What a bloody brilliant idea wonder if it’ll work on my phone! I’m always dropping it
Thanks Tina, yeah they are both made from glass 👍
Very cool idea.
Thankyou
What a great dad …giving up your Apple Watch!
cool tip, nice one mate, and you swapped your watch that was really nice
Bravo! Excellent Save my friend!! 😀👍👍
Thanks Sas 😊
Nice job!! I've been thinking about using my uv resin on my car windshield. It's got a crack from one of those annoying as hell gravel trucks. It hasn't spread at all, just a crack the size of a big garden pea.
Nice work
Thanks Mate
This is brilliant!!!!
Thanks Lynnie
Resin to the rescue. Good job Ben.
Thanks Bill
Brilliant!
Awesome Ben worx
Thanks Mate
I repaired my phone screen this way 3 years ago.
Never had an issue with the touch screen after, and phone worked flawlessly.
Nice little hack fix.
Thanks Mate
Great video my friend
Thanks Mate
Ben! What a mid-week surprise! 1st: You giving Jake your watch-such a dad move. An awesome dad move. 2nd:Did you see this hack anywhere or did you think this up all by yourself? If so, it's genius!
Thanks Tracy, nah it’s all me
I did something similar with my windshield, except the kit came with small plastic sheets to cover the cracks as they cured, and then you used a razor blade to scratch off any excess after you peel the plastic sheets off. This way you get a nice smooth surface.
Heck yeah that works!!
I feel like this would be jerryrigeverything approved
Scratched at a level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7.
It's a good way to fix if the touch still works, it will probably also prevent crack expansion later since the crack is glued and wont be able to grow easly, might even work on a smartphone if you are missing glass in a corner or somewhere where it doesn't affect the touch
Hi Ben 👋, that is a nifty ideas. Good to know that... thanks for sharing. Have a good day. Take care.
Thanks Rose, you too 😊
Ben I have a question about the first resin curing lamp you have linked. It appears to be for 3D printing uv resin. Will that also cure the UV resin used for crafting like you used to repair the watch?
That was pretty cool
Thankyou
Nice work. A part of the screen was black, but now there is a full screen again. 👍👍👍
Good tip. I got a bad crack on mine for a drop and I put a screen protector on top and have had full functionality of the screen with it.
It would be interesting to see the resin built up enough where you could sand it level and around the curves and polish it to a glass polish.
I can tell you yes...uv resin or polish is what's used for gel polish.
Brilliant
With how clumsy I am, I’m sure I will need this in the future!😂
That was awesome
Thanks Beth
I just watched this. I live in the states and I want to try this on a chipped glass 2015 iMac 27”. Which links are for the resin and torch. What kind of thing did you use to smooth it out?
This works great on Ipads as well !
It should do 👍
Very cool!!!
Thanks Mate
Ok, this was rather genius.
Hey Ben, where do you get the containers you usually cast in? The ones with the screw on lids? Cheers
Thank you so so so much brother thank you lots of people would like a lot of money for this can use in a cheaper material
Hey Ben🙂
Thanks for this, I have been lucky so far with electronics...however now I know who to send them to...haha
I will be sure to try this if needed.
Take care
Thanks Tim 😊
@@BensWorx
You are welcome Ben😁
That works great, the scratches disappeared. You're a good Dad, giving Jake yours and fixing the cracked one for yourself.
That’s genius!!
Thanks Mate
That's so cool 😎!
Thankyou
Cool idea you could probably wet sand it to refine the surface a bit
That’s big brain
Could this help remove surface scratches on an Apple Watch 5 ? Looking for options
Should I use this on my cracked watch
Now that's bloody brilliant! 🍺👍😄
Would I be able to fix my watch with this to get perfect trade in score?
I'm so glad the watch still works. Such a neat idea to use the resin. Although - do you think Jake is going to give you your watch back now his is fixed? Lol. 💜
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great idea.do you think it will work a fitbit watch too?
Thanks Stacey, It should 👍
I was wondering if its possible to buff it smooth. so long as you dont touch the case, you should be able to buff the uv resin smooth.
Great job!! I wonder if that would work on phones and tablets too?? Ive got a couple of old phones and tablets that my kids have cracked and no longer use, I just might try that out on those! Thanks for the awesome tip Ben!😆✌
Thanks Holly, yeah it should work
@@BensWorx I never thought to try resin to repair a touch screen! You truly are an amazing artist Ben! Cheers, I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Will the UV Resign come back in stock soon?
Do you think this kind of thing could work on a scratched cd/dvd? I know nail polish can damage the plastic they use, and I have some old discs sitting around that just aren't worth it to professionally resurface... but something like this might be useful if the resin doesn't melt them 🤔
Interesting, it might work
I bet this will work for my cracked Switch screen!
Random question Ben but have you tried clearpox resin? Think its new out ,seems a bit cheaper than most? Thanks should of used my uv resin on my shower screen lol
Hey, nah never heard of it, yeah it would fix it 👍
Did it help?
I might have to get me some UV resin.
Legend
Heheh I had galaxy smartwatch and I actually use... Nail polish. I found out really hard one few layers and watch not only didn't had crack but also kept its waterproofing(and still work)
Cool 👍
Is there any chance this would be waterproof?
Wow..I can't believe that worked.
Can you sand that and polish it smooth again with that kind of resin
Craftsman!!
Can u use it fir a galaxy watch only scratches?
Next week, Be repairs automotive windscreen and home windows. LOL Well done. and ingenious. Your favourite fan from Canada.
How do you know you are his favourite?...haha😉🇨🇦
Thanks Mate
Ben you are a good Apple 🍎👍😁
Thanks Jeanette 😊
Bang and the Cracks are gone! 👍
Why did people tell me resin is expensive? That tube is 7 dollars for UV resin? That's not bad at all. I saw so many comments talking about resin waste etc due to cost...I don't know what they were complaining about. Great fix!
I guess they mean it is expensive compared to regular. That stuff could really get pricey of you were using it on a large scale.
Thanks Jimmer
Hey bud l will try that on my Samsung Phone the top is cracked so l will give it a go thanks for the tip 👍
No worries mate
Hi Ben, I’ve been using a few different epoxies for a while and wondered why I should give justresin a crack they don’t seem to be able to be poured very deep.
Hi mate, they are currently developing a deep cast system
@@BensWorx I would like to help with the development and feedback
Will this work on some phones?
i did this on my ipad , i applied several layers and sanded and polished the resin after , you can only see the repair if you look across the screen at eye level
