What kind of glue Apple uses in iPhones?

History

I'd like to know what kind of glue Apple uses to stick the bezel to rear housing. They dont use epoxy, Apple uses a light blue adhesive the same that used to glue the touch screen. I mean, I know the touch screen is sticked with de 3M stikers, but they uses a little bit of this kind of glue to strengthen it.

I know this same question was made several times but it seems that nobody knows what exactly this glue is?

It is not an epoxy one, this glue is soft, strong and can easly be removed with the heat gun.

I'd love to know this... the glues I've used don't give a good finished look when you replace the rear housing.

pollytintop,

I found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Ruderer-L5... What do you think? I guess is more easy for you to test it since I live in Argentina. LEt me know please... Thank you

macpatagon,

it's interesting! think it'd be good for digitiser, but I don't think it's what you wanted it for.. the bezel. I'm try "no more nails" by unibond..dries clear, but not sure it gives a strong enough bond. wasn't happy with the last glue

pollytintop,

i think we're looking for a silica based glue.

pollytintop,

I agree. I found in modmyi.com, a comment about using a silicone gasket, and i saw this http://www.permatex.com/products/Automot...

Did you try looking at Locktite 242. It's extremely pliable yet can handle constant vibration without cracking or loosening. Which are all desirable qualities when dealing with mobile products that have tendency to be banged around or even dropped.

I will try and let you know. Thank you
