"Glue can fix a lot of everyday problems. It’ll stick a broken vase back
together, help you make a sweet collage, and it often keeps your electronics in
one piece. Key word: one piece. Adhesives aren’t very forgiving. Maybe your
phone took an ill-fated dip in the pool and now some parts need to take a
purposeful dip in isopropyl alcohol (we suggest you skip the rice bags). Maybe
you’ve cracked your screen, or your battery has finally kicked the bucket.
Whether it’s normal wear-and-tear or an accident, you will inevitably need to
get the thing open to fix it. And when that day comes you may find yourself
carefully applying isopropyl alcohol and suction cups to a stubborn layer of
adhesive—while cursing whoever designed the thing."
