Sealing edge of screen from dust ?

[Six0Four]

So i have this really strange issue that i've noticed with 3 different Macbooks. All from 2018 to the current M1. The issue is the adhesive gasket underneath the display is not 100% sealed. This is why there are many posts about people noticing light leaking from between the edge of the screen and the rubber gasket around the edge. But on my last 3 models i have noticed that a couple of very tiny specs of dust have made their way through that adhesive gasket underneath the glass and made there way between the backlight and the actual display. After a few weeks of use i will notice a tiny spec near the black border on the display behind the glass. This happens to me maybe because i work in a somewhat dusty environment.

These are not dead pixels and these were not there when the laptop was brand new.

So my question is, is there anything i could rig up to make that little gap around the display a tighter seal ? Maybe a special tape or silicone ?

I really need to use Mac OS and since all of Apple's modern laptops are made the same way i have no other options.

Any help would be appreciated.

The top 2 images i grabbed from online since they had a clear picture of the gap. This bottom picture is from my Macbook Air M1. it's very hard to capture an image of but i pointed the cursor at the spec of dust to make it a bit easier to spot.

Have you looked into those T-5000 or T-8000 glues resins?

Thanks for the tip, might look into that.

Thanks for the tip, might look into that.

Im not sure about the viscosity but I don't think you need it too runny, since it might run under the glass like the dust particle.

Any updates anyone?

I use a lens brush to remove dust. Same with my iPhone.
