Not a good idea, bag of uncooked rice is your best bet.

Yeah dry rice. 😱

 

[Hellishness]

should I take the back off and dry it out more?

No. Once you take off the back, you have to remove EVERYTHING in the phone to get to the screen.

 

[KameronBriggs]

that sucks.
if it doesn't dry you can always take it to the genius bar?

I have put on many shields on many different phones and NEVER had this problem. Maybe being more careful when you apply the shield would be your best bet.

Practice by prevention.

Rice ..... Really??? WTF. Old wives tale 😀

Hardly. Rice absorbs moisture kid and has proven to be effective in these cases. A blow dryer is a bad idea because it heats up too much and can ruin the otherwise delicate electronics. Also, since the OP was asking for advice and was told not to turn it on but did anyway, whatever damage that could have been done is done (if any at all).

The uncooked rice absorbs the moisture. Its really a blessing to have such useful little tricks!

Installed BSE front cover last night.. I used minimal water, and turned my phone on this morning.. when on a white screen I see water seepage on the bottom left corner of the screen! Will it dry out??

Photo, or you are just spreading FUD.

i would say 99.5% has gone away... I have two pixel width dots left, that are only visible on a white screen... will they go away??

Probably.

 

[RC83]

Probably.

if not, what do I do? I got it at Best Buy, im still in the 30 day window.. water tags are white... will they know those dots are from water?

If they are pixel-width dots, I highly doubt they'll even notice them. You could probably return it easily.

well, they are tiny, but pretty noticeable on white.. and at certain angles.. Im hoping they just dry out.. this sucks
