How to choose an adhesive tape for a touchscreen double-sided?

Cases of screen breakdowns in modern smartphones occur more often than would be desirable to the owners of equipment. Anyway, at some point, almost everyone has to deal with the replacement of this part of the gadget, but someone is looking for a workshop, while others are trying to fix everything themselves. And they need information on how to choose an adhesive tape for touchscreen (two-sided).

What is it used for?

This consumable helps in the repair of the display smartphone. With its help, the screen is fixed inside the case, so a poor-quality product can lead to breakage. The same, however, applies to hobgoblin masters who urge not to use adhesive tape for such laborious work. And in vain, because it is the most simple and reliable in use. The main thing is to choose the right product.

Types

Scotch for touchscreen two-sided happens with a basis and without it. The last option includes glue-transfer sheets, but it's rather difficult to work with them. They are not recommended to be used without experience, as sometimes canvases have to be cut off or arrange other "dances with a tambourine" in order to fix the display properly.

Most often, they are manufactured and used in the assembly by the touchscreen manufacturers themselves or by Chinese manufacturers. They immediately stamp sheets of the right size and shape, which greatly simplifies the process. Especially often, such products are addressed by the creators of replicas for "apple" gadgets.

Adhesive tape for touchscreen with a backbone gives much more choice. But for the first time it is better to take a thin and transparent, with high resistance to temperature changes. Such material can be reserved for beginners in the repair business, since it is a pleasure to use such a gluing element. It is universal and differs only in width of a roll, and the yardage is always the same (50 m). Of course, with such indicators, the owner of a smartphone will not be able to spend a whole life in a lifetime, unless he starts to repair the equipment all in a row.

Adhesive tape, double-sided

For touchscreen iPhone, it will do the best, but it will also fly into a penny. The roll of this material costs 33-38 euros (~ 2000-2500 rubles as of December 2016), but owners of "apple" equipment do not get used to high prices. To fix their machines use adhesive tape with the highest heat resistance (270 degrees Celsius).

However, it was not without complications. The technically possible minimum width of the roll is 7 mm, although the repair requires a tape half as much. Therefore, in some cases it is necessary to cut the scotch tape for the touch-sensitive two-sided manually.

Terms of Use

In some cases, the material does not really firmly fix the display, but it only happens if the instruction is not followed. Therefore, if in a repair shop the client is convicted that Scotch tape is an unsuccessful decision, you can safely dismiss such an organization.

Self-delicacy is worth reading the rules of gluing, so as not to spend money in vain:

1. Degrease the surfaces to be fixed. For these purposes it is better to use isopropyl liquid alcohol (from cylinders it will not do).
2. Allow parts to dry out. Usually it does not take more than 10-15 minutes.
3. Apply adhesive tape to the display, it must be firmly attached to the surface. Bubbles and slanting overlap can not be allowed, extreme accuracy and perfectionism - the most important in this matter.
4. At the end of the fixing procedure, you can use a building hair dryer - this will speed up the gluing.

As a rule, beginners prefer branded scotch 3 M (two-sided) for the touchscreen, but it is not necessary to choose it. In the end, nobody will try to experiment.
