I Figured Out How To Eliminate Screen Protector Bubbles!

I used regular Alcohol. It didn't eliminate the bubbles, but helped me to not care about them.
It doesn't matter what you use to clean the screen with - wet wipes, water, alcohol etc. The real key to not having bubbles is using a tape to pick up all the physical dust, that's how you'd know for sure there will be no bubbles.I used regular Alcohol.

Haha, I saw the title and thought "Oh I check this out" then opened it up and saw it was started in 2010. What a revival!!Love these threads... started 10 years ago, then revived 5 years ago... only to be resurrected again in 2020.
10+ years... impressive
Kind of following this. Just like to share one tempered glass screen protector experience. I've watched all the anal Youtube vids to make sure I get this right. Ultimately though, I mismatched the screen protector to the front camera, so attempted to pry it up and re-seat it. Fail. Lots of dust bubbles. Solution: Used a isopropyl alcohol and white vinegar mix I had in a squirty bottle. Lifted the screen protector up again (carefully, a bit at a time without breaking), wet the "wet" screen cloth (which had dried out with shelf life in sunny Queensland) and cleaned the phone screen, cleaned the bonding surface of the screen protector (believe it or not) with the wet screen cloth and left the surface of the screen protector (bonding surface) wet. Then, re-seated the screen protector on the phone screen. No bubbles, as they pushed out even easier, along with any residual moisture. There was also no blurring or weakness in the the protector screen bond. If you're like me and loathe this job entirely, might be worth considering this method as a last resort.
