Glue is glue, if it worked on one it should work on all, I tried 2 different ways, it did nothing.
Got a tip for us?

You do not even have to use at 100% brightness. I have noticed mine get bluer since I got mine and I use it at around 65% with auto brightness.
Heat is the cure.

It's not false hope when it's a known and CONFIRMED issue.
----------
Do you not pay ANY attention at all to these product releases? This problem has existed with the first runs of the iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPad 2, and now the new iPad. C|NET, Macworld, MadLife, ZDNet, Engadget, GDGT, and TWiT have all reported on this time and time again.

From the very page you linked to...
Even the iFixit site proves my point. As I've stated before, this is been discussed ad nauseum by multiple reputable sites, so I'm not making things up. Perhaps reading comprehension lessons are in order?
From Macworld:
If you read the comments following the article, you'll see that the issue did clear up on its own over time.

I've had my Ipad 2 for months and I've just started noticing the yellow tint. I have nothing to lose, so I'm going to give this a shot and hope for the best. Thanks for posting the tutorial.
Fix yellow iPad
Yes the new iPad 3 is yellow. So jailbreak it with absinthe and install springtomize. Go to animations and turn custom gamma on. Now you can ajust the RGB levels. Mine i set approx. -10% red and -5% green. Now white is white.

Great tip. I had no idea that that could be done with Springtomize. Very nice.
It is no big secret that displays do not come from the factory with perfect color, that is why operating systems come with color management software built-in. If there are variations among different screens for the same product, it is not really that some screens are more accurate than others, but rather some screens are better calibrated using the operating system's default color management settings.
You can calibrate the display of your Mac using the built-in color calibrator. Maybe the iPad should have the same.
First of all, thanks for the OP for posting this. it works!!
This is not a placebo. I owned an iPad 3 for about month and noticed a slight but not bothersome hue. Anyways, went to the shop here in Korea which is not an official Apple store. Their iPad 3's were way cooler in color temp.
Unlike an Apple store no one here has any incentive to show off the iPads and get perfect copies (since they sell everything else equally), but yet all of the display has a really cool color temperature. Either it was luck or they were doing something different.
Turns out the only difference between their ipads and mine is they leave it on 100% brightness all day charged. I figured it might actually work.
I left it on at 100% brightness for 2 hours (it might have to do with the fact that I owned it for a month) and covered the iPad a little to generate heat. (not even sure of that's necessary) The first thing I noticed was the Notes app became significantly cooled down and tame. No longer is it a strong yellow, but more of a post-it note yellow. The next thing was iBooks. The book doesn't look greenish anymore!
