Glass Sealant All The Things ! (watches, cell phone, glasses)


Recommended Posts

So, I heard of people using glass sealant for other things besides car windshields. I decided to try it on a couple things:

 

1) Watch face plate: no longer collects random dust and finger prints

 

2) glasses: no longer collects easy finger prints that get in your way requiring cleaning every 30 minutes.

 

3) cell phone: no longer collects heavy finger prints that are noticeable when the screen is off.

 

What else have you guys tried it on?

Put it inside you beer mug and you'll get every last drop!

Genius!

 

 

 

I've heard not to put it on RX Glasses. It will destroy them.

 

 

How so? I am due for new ones soon so no big deal if they do. So far they have been great and I have no noticed any damage but time will tell.

I was thinking of ising it on my Dell tablet. Figured it wpuld help keep the fingerprint down.

I thought about that.

 

I have 2 laptops. One is glossy and one is matte. I am a little concerned with how most monitors warn against even just using water to clean it. Otherwise, etching / scratching / deformations could occur.

 

I won't be the first one to try it on my monitor :P

Thanks :)

 

captain slow posted in that thread it can take weeks for damage to show. So I guess time truely will tell. So far my glasses are still good, stay cleaner, and clean so much easier...but I would recommend against it unless you want to risk damage to your glasses.

Who wants to take the plunge on a laptop screen? Very curious how it would do on my macbook - it's impossible to keep this screen from getting dirty - especially where the keyboard and screen matchup. I could almost type on the screen itself the button outlines are so clear.

I wouldn't put it on a MacBook screen ether. All Apple products that have a LCD have protective coatings on them. They come with a swede cloth for a reason. You should never spray a chemical onto a MacBook Pro, iMac, iPad, iPod or iPhone unless absolutely necessary. 

 

Being an Apple Tech, if you brought in a MacBook with LCD issues and said you put glass sealant on it... It would be borderline voiding warranty.

Dude, that's bass fishing season! Got over 600 this season :banana:  and the poor G8 suffered for it.   :eek:

 

Anyway Glass Sealant on some lens materials can cause irreparable damage. The damage can show immediately or over several weeks to months. On mineral glass you're good to go as long as the lenses do not have a mirror, color or antireflective coating.

Update:

 

My phone, not sure if due to using glass sealant or not.but, I use to use a privacy screen on my phone. Now, when I use it I see weird colored lines. With the privacy screens off the phone looks fine. Trying the screen on another phone worked as intended - crystal clear.

 

So, may or may not be related to glass sealant but use it on t

Your phone at your own risk. If I had to do it again I would put it on top of a tempered glass screen protector.
