How to Romove UV screen protector ( Full Glue Screen Protector)?-Gtel Glass Screen Protector Factory

Removing a UV screen protector ( Full Glue Screen Protector)can be a bit tricky since it is typically bonded to the screen using UV-cured adhesive. However, with the right tools and a bit of patience, you can remove it without damaging your device. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to safely remove a UV screen protector:

Tools You'll Need:

• Plastic pry tools (preferably made of nylon to avoid scratching the screen)
• Isopropyl alcohol (optional, for loosening adhesive)
• Microfiber cloth
• Hair dryer or heat gun (optional)
• Gloves (optional, for handling the protector without fingerprints)

Steps to Remove a UV Screen Protector:

1. Turn Off the Device

Before you start, make sure the phone or tablet is powered off to avoid any accidental touches during the removal process.

2. Gently Heat the Screen Protector (Optional)

UV screen protectors are often bonded with UV-cured adhesive that can be slightly difficult to remove without heat. Use a hair dryer or a heat gun on a low setting to warm the edges of the screen protector. Hold it about 6-8 inches from the screen and gently warm the edges for 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overheat the screen, as excessive heat could damage the device.

• Note: Heating the protector helps soften the adhesive, making it easier to peel off.

3. Use a Plastic Pry Tool

Once the protector is heated, take a plastic pry tool or a plastic card (such as an old credit card) to gently wedge underneath the edges of the screen protector. Start at a corner and slowly lift it up.

• Be gentle: Start lifting from one corner, applying minimal pressure to avoid cracking the protector or damaging the screen. It should begin to peel off if the adhesive is loosened by the heat.

4. Slowly Peel the Protector

After lifting a corner, continue to gently peel the protector away from the screen. If the adhesive is still sticky or resistant, you can apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) around the edges of the screen protector using a microfiber cloth. The alcohol will help break down the adhesive, making it easier to remove.

• Be cautious: If the screen protector is coming off in pieces, stop and apply more heat or alcohol to loosen it further.

5. Remove Any Residual Adhesive

Once the screen protector is removed, you might notice some sticky adhesive residue left behind on your screen. Use a microfiber cloth soaked in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to wipe off any remaining adhesive. Be sure not to let alcohol seep into the phone's openings.

6. Clean the Screen

After all the adhesive is removed, wipe the screen with a dry microfiber cloth to ensure there is no residue or dust left. You can also use a screen cleaner for a more thorough cleaning if necessary.

7. Inspect the Screen

Before applying a new screen protector, inspect the device's screen for any remaining adhesive or dust particles. Make sure the screen is clean and dry.

Tips:

• Take your time: Don’t rush the process. If you apply too much force, you might damage the screen protector or the device.
• Work in a dust-free environment: Try to remove the protector in a clean, dust-free area to avoid any debris from getting trapped between the screen and the new protector.
• Avoid using sharp objects: Never use metal tools like knives or scissors to remove the screen protector, as they can easily scratch or damage the screen.

By following these steps, you should be able to safely and effectively remove a UV screen protector from your device.
