I'm replacing the screen on an iPad Mini (don't ask, it's been going horribly. I've spent way too much time on it so far). Long story short, dust always seems to get between my digitizer and LCD no matter what I do. Not only that, but I get random scratches/marks on the LCD. This time, to try to prevent that, I wore gloves during the entire assembly, but still managed somehow to get the LCD marked up. I guess I'm a perfectionist, because now I've spent more time than I spent disassembling the whole thing trying to get the marks off. I've tried what's recommended online - alcohol and clean room wipes seem to leave more marks than they take off. Same for distilled water.
I'd love to be able to do repairs for extra $$, but I can't bring myself to send out items with marks and dust inside. How do the pros avoid this?
