Question for those doing it time after time....
after you pull a digitizer off, and scrape the old adhesive, in regards to the
original its a foam sticky, what do you use to fill the gap from the old foam adhesive.
All I can find is some 3m adhesive cut outs, and those are thin, thus when applying the digitizer it drops down below flush, causing the underside of digitizer and the lcd to touch, making a "wet like" spot.
Is there some other adhesive that is thicker?
Pm me... ill get you hooked up
NO NO NO....PM ME and I'll hook you up!!..hahahahahhaha

Most phones use 3M tape to hold the screen into place. Some phone repair places just use Gel style krazy glue.
A friend and I replaced the digitizer on his TP2 a while back. We used 3M tape. As you may have noticed, the surface area to apply the tape on is VERY narrow. We cut the tape to size with an X-acto knife. It was a ridiculously time-consuming and frustrating process. If I had to do it again I would select a gel-style glue as suggested by Nighthawk243. Of course, use in very small amounts so it won't spill into the visible screen area when you compress the pieces together.
Alternatively, email the eBay seller and see if they have a one-piece, pre-cut adhesive backing for sale. Waiting for it in the mail may be well worth foregoing the frustration of the aforementioned methods.
hot glue works. It's cheap and it's non-conductive. doubt it gets too hot
here is some tape on amazon. Really cheap and plenty to do multiple digitizers.
Try This!
I've stripped my phone down and removed the lcd digitizer and it was held in by what looks like thin grey double sided foam tape, I have a new unit to fit but it doesn't come with any tape.
Does anyone know where I can get some proper tape to hold the screen in?

Story: Friend cracked phone. Tec school classmate replaced the screen. She got hair and dust under the screen, and I mean enough to have the screen be pressed down to distort color a lot. I took my screen off, cleaned it, and I need the adhesive replaced. The screen holds but I can still peel it off using the speaker gap. I want it stuck on like new again.
What adhesive size do I buy? And preferably from ebay.
This is the adhesive I used last time I changed my screen. 2mm.

Removing the back cover and fixing an unresponsive touch screen.
My daughter decided to drop her 80 Cobalt leaving the screen unresponsive but not broken.
After re-flashing the firmware and ruling out a software issue, I decided to open the case and have a look inside. With a bit of playing about I discovered the matt plastic back panel can easily be unclipped from the shiny plastic surround.
First remove the single tiny crosshead screw from under the sdcard flap. Then unclip the panel using strong fingernails or a thin plastic tool. Work from the speaker end and hinge it up at the camera end as there are four tabs there that locate under the curved shiny plastic part.
Inside there are two rectangles of plastic sticky tape in the same place, under one of those is the touch screen ribbon. I removed the plastic tape and found the ribbon was unseated, I just pushed it back into the connector and replaced the plastic tape, which appears to be the only thing holding it in place. The touch screen sprang back into life.
Replace the back cover and small screw. Job done.
It should only take a few minutes to repair.
After the digitizer connector is snapped into place and screwed down, is it wise to test it before applying adhesive or does that little strip that sticks out to the side (for grounding) have to be firmly placed/taped down first? I basically want to be sure the screen works before adhesive and tape are applied. Good or bad idea?
Update: Dry fit went well for testing. Used a precision-cut adhesive and peeled off the protective plastic after testing to seat the new screen replacement. Cracked But Not Forgotten brand. Zero problems.
