      • Align the screen and press it down firmly onto the adhesive.

      • For best results, apply heat from your iOpener, heat gun, or hair dryer to help set the adhesive.

      • After the screen sits in place apply some pressure for a few hours by wrapping the watch with a couple rubber bands, or placing it under a heavy book or two.
