TFT Screen Adhesive
The TFT screen on the HalloWing can become un-adhered if it is bumped or wiggled too much (or left in a very hot Jeep near the windshield in the hot southern California sun, for a totally hypothetical example that didn't necessarily happen to the author). Fixing this is pretty easy -- you can use double-stick tape, E6000 glue, or Sugru to fix it back in place. Here are some action photos of these fixes.
Double Stick Tape
Â
Cut three thin slices of double stick tape, then place them around the edges of the backlight.
Â
Press the screen down and hold for a few seconds to adhere.
E6000 Glue
This is strong glue and is even better than tape if you plan to leave the HalloWing screen exposed on a costume without the lens and cover.
Use a toothpick or skewer to place small dabs of the glue around the perimeter of the backlight.
Â
Press the screen down and hold for a few seconds, then allow to cure overnight.
Sugru
You can go all out and create a protective frame using Sugru moldable silicone rubber.
Open a sachet of Sugru and tear off a small ball of it.
Â
Roll the ball into a small cylinder and press up against one side of teh board and screen.
Â
Repeat for the other side.
Â
Allow Sugru to cure overnight.
