I used the brown tube from Kitsch-Bent's shop. I work during the day and I don't have a UV lamp so I had to leave it to cure on the window sill while I was at work (so 8+ hours).

could it be the vapor alone from the glue, even if the glue didn't even touch the screen?

i wonder if this could be related to the spidering that sometimes happens when LOCA gets under the reflective tape and doesn't quite cure properly

This happened to me too... I don't think it can be saved

Hey all.

I was letting some LOCA glue cure on a GBC screen for a frontlight mod and everything looked fine until the other day I noticed that there was some clouding at the bottom of the screen.

Any idea why this has happened? Can this be saved? If not, is there a way to at least salvage the frontlight?
I really don't want to have to order ANOTHER replacement screen AND frontlight kit if I can help it.

Thanks!
