Review: White Edge Liquid

Hi everyone, I dropped my phone again.

And the protector I’d put on it shattered too, so my obsessive self is back to applying a new one.

Both phones I have use curved screens, which makes protectors a pain to apply — not impossible, though. You need white edge liquid.

There are three kinds of white edge liquid. The first is the earliest: basically, oil.

One coat works, but it’ll evaporate sooner or later and stop doing its job… and you have to reapply.

The second is the later AB glue, usually packaged as two liquids you mix before applying. The result is decent — once cured, it’s permanent, turning into something like jelly.

The downsides are obvious too. Being jelly-like, it picks up dust along the seam easily, and wiping too much rubs it off. And since it’s glue after mixing, it’s thick and hard to apply — takes patience.

The third is the more recent wmwx white edge liquid.

Brown, very easy to apply, and cures into a waxy substance that doesn’t attract dust.

It has drawbacks too. First, curing takes a long time — best to apply at night, leave it overnight, and it’s fine by morning.

Second, after it cures inside the screen it tends to leave a rainbow edge like a dividing line. Pressing down while applying makes it less noticeable, but look closely and you can still see it.

As for which white edge liquid to use, that’s up to you. I recommend the wmwx one — it’s easy to apply, and with it you can even use white edge liquid on very irregular tempered glass protectors.

Recently I found a stand-up tempered glass maker, GOR. All their products have an oleophobic coating and are real glass, and they’re cheap — far better than that idiot USK.
