WD40 is the choice, I almost forgot that one, you can use this magical substance with everything ))
i'm really concerned about using freaking WD40 on my screen LOL, what if it totally lifts the remainder of the screen? where did you get this idea in the first place you scary genius

i have wd40 can in front of me, let me just say, it seems, backwards for me to put lubricant spray on my screen where it needs adhesive LOL
mystery physics behind oil characteristics and how one glass stick to another with little glue on between.
It would be nice to hear why does it work.

wouldn't wd40 destroy the oleophobic coating on the glass underneath the glass? assuming i need to get some of the oil under the TGSP ?

wow.
WOWWWWW
i just soaked my one plus 6 in WD40 extra strength and you were right it worked! I have one small small bubble in the corner lip now but it's literally no big deal this worked perfectly!!
NILLKIN needs to ship out a lil wd40 wipe with these screens.
@x111 you are a gentleman and a scholar!!! HIGHEST AWARDS go to you sir
Hmm, not sure about oil.
I have used screen cleaner and also heavily diluted washing up liquid (which is probably oily) with the same effect and no unknown risks with the coating. Removes dust and bubbles or makes them easier to push out and then dries out. Kind of just like a wet installation.

I'm pretty sure it worked fine for me.
I sprayed wd-40 on my finger, not a lot, but let the excess drip off into trash can. then placed same finger and rubbed it up and down the edges. making sure the oil isn't going anywhere other than on the edge.
Literally, one tiny corner bubble that's so insignificant is left.
I say this is a major solution to the nillkin problem
I assume edges of the phone screen and not the protector, correct?
no the edges of the protector itself. , and i didnt even need to add pressure to the edges,
Oh Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering using finger to smear a thin layer of WD 40 might leave some finger prints on the screen protector. I am going to try it as soon as I get my tgsp
all credit goes to @x111 , the only credit i have is trying it based on no evidence LOLOh Ok. Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering using finger to smear a thin layer of WD 40 might leave some finger prints on the screen protector. I am going to try it as soon as I get my tgsp
I forgot to mention to make your life easier you better to use ears cleaning cotton buds soaked with oil.
I would highly recommend against using wd40. It destroyed my brand new Nilkin protector. It creates permanent cloudy edges. I should have tried it without wd40 first. A new protector in the trash. Oh well, you live and learn.
before you throw it away, you can easily remove wd40 by using ~99% alcohol. After that by using a little bit water apply protector again but before applying clean it up with soapy water.
And than if you will have some air pocket on the edges, use a bit oil.
I will try this. I am also starting to think the authentic nature of the Nilkin protector. I got it online from AliExpress. Thanks for the tip.
Best thing to use is virgin olive oil sparingly - any brand- and a cue tip. Works like a champ, been using this method for quite a while, saw a youtube vid on it.

What would you guys recommend, the H or the H+? I was thinking I would order the H off amazon since the H doesn't have the curved edges and would probably stick to the screen better.
did u submerge your phoen in wd40??
Because mine isn't cloudy after using wd 40?
It was going in the trash either way before me trying this since the edges weren't sticking
To be honest, if you're having to rub oil under your screen protector so it works, it's probably not worth keeping it.
