What kind of adhesive is used to re-attach the digitizer

I just stuck a cheap 1 $ Screen guard on my tab... as it was bigger in size than my tab... i had to use a cutter to cut it and so i inserted the cutter in between the panel and the glass digitizer in all the four sides for cutting the extra part of screen guard.... and today after a week i saw the digitizer coming off the tab.... pls help me wat to do... the four corners of he digzer and the inside panel are still a bit sticky....
What kind of adhesive is used to re-attach the digitizer. Or maybe the soft gasket around the display melts and becomes the adhesive under heat?

Hi

Repaired two of mine and on went perfectly but the other has mess with green but if I push down on the tab screen then it is perfect.

Been debating weather to take apart again and resit everything. Also noticed on LCD itself there is a like loose liquid pattern ( if you know what I mean) nor to sure if they are connected.

Regards

We recommend the adhesive strips here to create a secure bond. These are the correct thickness strips for the touch screen. Digitizer adhesive strips

It's one I sourced from China could not get what I wanted so am bringing in a few of them to sell on my site when it's launched later this month, have seen a few on eBay though but were not as good.
