If you think that you can re-seal a phone to [link|https://blog.junipersys.com/waterproof-dustproof-mobile-device-ip-ratings-explained/|IP68 standards] well done to you.
Firstly, you would probably need a dust free, controlled environment to do it, which most DIY'ers haven't got.
Also the manufacturer is starting with a brand new phone e.g. no bends in the frame or slight imperfections (cracks?) etc introduced after purchase and through normal use by the user (phone dropped perhaps?) and the phone is sitting in a jig holding it perfectly level and rigid.
Question is would you subject it to and then guarantee that it would initially pass the same tests as required by the IP68 standard to make sure that it is water and dust proof, like the manufacturer has to, so that they can state that it has the rating?

I think probably not as it would an expensive mistake if you're wrong.
