hi i believe the 3m tape is not OEM what i have used and seems to work great for ipod touch 4 is liquid based adhesive with a very small amount of super glue in the corners. then proceed to heat it gently place upside down with some weight on the ipod or holding clips and leave to dry works a charm…
Hey Gabe! Owning my own repair business I feel the exact same way. When I do a job, I want it done right the first time and I don’t want anything just “popping” up because the tape isn’t holding. I too am not too happy with the 3M adhesive that comes with most of the replacement parts. I too like the adhesive that Apple uses and wish that I could get some myself! Unfortunately that is nearly impossible. I recommend heading to http://www.etechparts.com/Premium-Adhesi… and use the premium rolls instead. This stuff does hold better than the 3M tape, but have yet to pull apart a device that has been put back together with this tape. I’m hoping that all is going well for you in your repair business!
