There's probably not enough in the kit to do the job. It's also
formulated to have the same index of refraction as the plastic
anti-shatter windshield sandwitch, and may not be the same as just
glass.

Google for "optical clear epoxy":

etc...

You may want to test the glue on something else before attacking your
Nexus tabet. Some glues shrink, some don't quite harden, other aren't
good for gap filling, etc. With epoxy, you have one chance to get it
right or you're left with a mess. Also, be sure to clean the glass
with MEK before gluing.


Thanks Jeff.
Seem to have a missing "Eternal_september" posting but no matter.
