Important application tips
(please read)
- Approx. 0,7 ml Zcratch UV is needed to stick the protective film (better more than less)
- The best results can be achieved when the Zcratch UV runs on its own without pressure. From the Apple Watch 7 upwards please do not turn around! Skip step 4!
-
Let the UV lamp shine for 2 minutes in a slightly darkened room (UV lamp is automatically deactivated after 2 minutes.)
- Approx. 1/2 ml Zcratch UV is needed to stick the protective film (better more than less)

- Approx. 1 ml Zcratch UV is needed to stick the protective film (better more than less)
- The best results can be achieved when the Zcratch UV runs on its own without pressure. To do this, place the watch on a flat-folded handkerchief with the screen facing down after gluing. (just leave it there for about 10-20 seconds, because the product runs faster with the 44mm version due to its higher weight)

Fixing Problems
Reason: There is not enough Zcratch UV under the protective film. Due to the film’s own surface tension, a negative pressure forms, which is why the film draws air.
Solution:
- Use more glue
- Shorter lay-time when turned around
- After laying and turning back, do not harden directly – wait for 30-60 seconds if bubbles come
If the application has already been done and the adhesive has not hardened. You can lift the protector and refill some Zcratch UV
Reason: The device, the film and the hands have not been completely cleaned from all adhesive residue.
Solution:
- Clean the device and the film thoroughly with fresh handkerchiefs and isopropanol
- Wash your hands with soap several times
When cleaning the film (where the protective film has already been removed) be very careful and work with fresh handkerchiefs!
!DO NOT USE KITCHEN ROLLS!
After some time of use
Solution:
- Polish the PMMA film with acrylic glass polish
or
- take a new PMMA film
Buy new PMMA protectors here: film
Solution:
- Heat the film briefly with a standard hair dryer
- Clean with isopropanol after removing the PMMA protector
When the film is heated, the adhesive loses its strength and becomes flexible.
