50% isopropyl alcohol and s9+

I hate the stickers that come on the phone. I peeled the one on top off and someone suggested using alcohol. I only had 50% available. It didn't evaporate as quickly as a higher concentration. If it got in the seam between the display and frame could it damage the water right seal?

Use a cotton swab to apply the alcohol then use your nail to scrape it or peel it off.

Alcohol doesn't damage rubber or plastic. The rest of what's in it (to dilute it to 50%) is pure water, which won't cause any damage.

Thanks. My main concern was the sealant. If that's not an issue then yay.

You were using alcohol to remove adhesive. I believe you know the answer...Just hope it didn't get in there deep enough to eat through the sealing adhesive. Odds are it didn't since it evaporates so quickly.

I thought the seal was a rubber gasket. Didn't realize it was an adhesive

Also it didn't do a great jobat removing the sticker adhesive so hopefully if it did get into the seamit didn't do much

But why did you even need the alcohol. I just peeled the sticker and rubbed the residue with my finger. Came right off.

It wasn't coming off easily and it worked pretty well for the qrc sticker kn the back side I figured it would work for the top
