Nexus 7 repair
Just for the mere NON-fun of it, I dropped my Nexus
tablet and the road impacted on 1 corner. The tuff glass splintered and dropped off a couple of minor chips. So - it's a cosmetic damage rather than a full-on failure. I was wondering - car windscreen repair shops tout some sort epoxy(?) filler to gloss out the damage. What is it? Where would one get it? Would it work? TA |

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": http://www.masterbond.com/properties/optically-clear-polymer-adhesives http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/protective-coatings/epoxy-potting-and-encapsulating-compounds/optically-clear-epoxy-8321c/ http://www.amazon.com/Loctite-E-30CL-Adhesive-Bonder-CARTRIDGE/dp/B000WS9HRM http://www.amazon.com/Epoxy-Hysol-30-CL-50mL-Cartridge/dp/B0086A005Q/ref=pd_sbs_indust_1 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. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Nexus 7 repair
Just for the mere NON-fun of it, I dropped my Nexus
tablet and the road impacted on 1 corner. The word "impact" -- as verb or noun -- is one of the most-vapid in English. It hardly ever is the best choice to express the idea of hitting or influencing. Just for the mere NON-fun of it, I dropped my Nexus tablet, and one corner struck the road. Or hit, or banged into, or landed on, or crashed into, etc, etc, etc. |
