Attention: use only on non-coated surfaces and plastics; when used on mobile phones, treat only the transparent portions of the display lens. Not for use with touch screen displays.

I wonder how this would cause a problem with touch screens????

Anybody tried this?

Merlin's Table Scratch Pro product

Quote:

There are two formats of repair in the Scratch Pro repair kit. One will fill in the scratches and the other resurfaces the screen using a series of abrasives designed for plastic. The unit you are looking to repair probably has a factory coating, so I would fill in the scratches and leave the coating as it is. Scratch Pro won't interfere with the touch screen technology. I attached a picture of a touch screen system. You can see that there are other layers on top of the touch screen technology.

lol FTW!

I've heard applesauce does work, but I've never tried it myself. Just make sure you don't get it into the phone itself.

The crazy gfs give the best s3x though. I know it sounds crazy.... but brasso works AMAZING. Its a polish you can get at almost any store, comes in a little metal can. put some on a paper towel or polishing cloth, then have the phone with the screen face DOWN with the towel in your hand and buff out the scratch. Brasso actually starts to melt the surface of the top screen ever so slightly and it fills in the scratch without messing up your screen. After you polish it forever, let it dry, remove the dry buildup with a wet down and repeat till it looks perfect :)

i went on best skins ever.com and bought a full body protector to apply.

hopefully the glue like formula makes the scratch a little less deep. i will try applesauce as well.

I just scanned through that HTC Fuze thread and I didn't see anyone that actually used the Merlin's Table product. On its website I did notice that their main market was CD's, DVD's, Apple products (aka Capacitive screens).

It would stand to reason that a completely different (and/or non-existent) "factory coating" would be used on a device that is made to flex and bend with presses on the screen, rather than the protective layers on the fragile glass screen of the iPods and iPhones.

Also like to mention that the Merlin's Table website seems very outdated, with "Copyright 2007" at the bottom, a broken youtube video demo, and the sites they claim sell their product (ebay.ca, ebgames.ca, and clubstore.ca) have no results when searched. Also, it appears to be based in Canada.

Be careful with "Screen Repair" products, especially of the "INSTANT" and "MIRACLE" variety.

I used the Applesauce product on my original Touch and it actually made the problem worse. I think it's designed for capacitive screens. I had a filmy/scratched look wherever I used their product on the screen. I would stay away from it.
