    • In order for the adhesive to bond correctly, you'll need to apply even pressure around the perimeter of your device.

    • Do not use vise clamps to forcibly close a bulging device.

    • Before beginning this repair, we recommend cleaning your device to avoid catching debris between the vise jaws and the device.

    • Open a screen vise clamp and slide it over the edge of your device, as far as it will go.

    • If your device has a camera bump and the clamp is able to sit squarely over the center of a lens, you only need to use one clamp for the camera bump.

    • If the clamp is not able to sit squarely over the center of a lens, use two clamps spaced evenly over the camera bump.

    • Over-tightening may damage your device's screen or back cover.

    • Spin the vise clamp knob clockwise to lower the upper jaw onto the screen.

    • Spin the knob until the jaw makes light contact with the screen, and then tighten down one half turn.

    • The clamp isn't meant to be very tight just yet.

    • Repeat the previous steps for the five remaining vise clamps: one at each of the four corners, and one in the middle of each long edge.

    • For larger tablets, more than six vise clamps may be needed to ensure the adhesive bonds evenly around the entire perimeter.

    • Using a hair dryer or heat gun, evenly heat the edges all the way around the device until they are slightly too hot to touch. The heat will help the adhesive form a more complete bond.

    • Don't overheat the device, or you may cause the battery to ignite or damage other heat-sensitive components, like the display.

    • While the device is still hot, tighten all six vise clamps down one full turn.

    • Don't tighten any further to avoid damaging your device.

    • Leave the vise clamps in place for about thirty minutes.
