How can I remove ALL lint and dust with OCA screen Refurbishing?

Hey guys! I have started replacing the glass on broken iphone screens and have almost mastered the craft. My only problem is that when I finish a screen I have a handful of dust/lint particles under the screen! I understand that dust is much more noticable when you use OCA as opposed to LOCA but it is all I have at the moment and I would like to keep using OCA if possible. What are some of the methods/ types of cloths that you guys use to ensure that no dust or lint is left behind on the screen. Is it possible to get a dust/lint free final product using OCA? I would appreciate any advice!

Many things you do can help with dust I'll quickly go over some options and if you need more advice let me know. I have a refurbishment lab in California and know exactly what your going through.

Setup a humidifier near where your rolling oca and applying glass.

Get a hepa air filter from local hardware store.

Build or buy a hud to put over where you roll and apply glass limiting the open air over your work space.

If your willing to spend money you can source a dust free room in China to setup your machines in. Adding the tips above will hopefully have you on your way soon. I haven't seen dust in a long time.

Best wishes.

Also, I am wondering if it is also lint from the cloths that I am using. If you dont mind could you tell me what kind of cloths/solution you use when cleaning the glue off the lcd?

Absolutely, I use pure acetone you can buy In the paint section of Walmart or a home goods store, and I use an anti static lint free cloth. I can send you a link to it if that's allowed on here? I'm not sure if ifixit sells it.
