Paint protection film on led tv screen

[Farrier]

Hi,

Yesterday I was approached by a markting company that has an interactive game for children in a Led TV, placed in a shopping mall.

The screen is getting damaged with scratches and before it gets worse, he asked us to apply paint protection film.

 

My question is that I will not be able to make the application wet because I am afraid of soaking the TV. I think the application gel might be an alternative, but I do not have any supplier in my country that has available for delivery and I can not wait to get it from outside the country.

 

Will the screen cleaning gel be an option or will it have some component incompatible with the paint protection film?

 

Thanks in advance for helping.

Your best bet would be getting a different film with a dry apply adhesive. Otherwise you would risk damaging not only the screen but the internal components using either gel or install solution. But that's just my recommendation.

i cant risk damaging anything, I'm afraid if they ask me to take it off one day the strength of the glue will damage the screen

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for your help. We are considering testing an anti-grafity film. Let's see if this is a viable option ...

Should be an easy install just go easy with the slip solution. I would also recommend going with a film that has a weaker adhesive for future removal purposes. But definitely a good idea to do. Its the same thing that's applied to phone and ipads.

@pro-tect mobile  you might be correct but it's not the same as a phone. Phones have actual glass.  Not all TV's have glass.  

Sometimes it's a coated plastic-ish material that is flexible.  

 

I would recommend a blister free film if it has to be covered. To try to insure no damage to the LED screen coating.  

 

Otherwise use an actual cover made of wood or metal with a piece of clear glass that can be covered or replaced.

I once applied ppf to the screen of an Audi convertible at the customers request. I made a template and pre-cut to the correct shape so it was an easy install with the berest minimum, and I mean minimum, amount of slip.

When the customer drove the car out all was well then suddenly the sat nav screen picture went to be replaced by a load of multicoloured lines.

Long and short of it was that it cost the customer for a new sat nav as the tft screens are not sealed, fortunately he had watched me fit the film so knew I had used very little slip.

What I am saying in a long winded way is use a dry application film or walk away.

Probably depends on the screen. The Camaro screens used to be bad about scratching so we covered them all of the time. Never any issues with the application or removal. I would hate to think GM makes a better screen than Audi.   LOL.

There has to be a clear vinyl that has the same adhesive as say a fathead sticker that you can remove and reapply. Of course a a dry install wouldn't be fun but my guess if you use something else besides PPF you wounding meet much slip anyway.

We chose not to put any film on the TV so as not to risk damaging it... 

Thank you all for your help!
