I bought the Whitestone Dome glass and it has been a complete failure. Both times I had an adhesive failure as detailed by the email i have copied here. I will have to remove the second glass but what is the best way to do it?

I am absolutely infuriated by the poor product quality. Follow instructions, watch youtube, etc and the product fails twice.

Thanks,

Salt.

I purchased the Dome glass kit for the note 9 on Feb 10, 2019 from Amazon.co.uk. I followed the instructions (watched the youtube video 3-4 times) but after I pulled the pin to drop the glass on the phone a small air bubble formed in the top right portion of the screen formed as the liquid spread (it moved from left to right and settle on that edge). It was a quite a large air bubble and nothing I could not remove it (pictured attached). I decided not to cure the liquid as the bubble was very visible so I cleaned up the entire setup and tried a second time.

The second attempt appeared to go perfectly however after about 1 hour after installation 2 small “lines” formed underneath the bottom buttons. I do not know what caused both failures. I used a level on the table to ensure a flat and level surface, I cleaned the phone thoroughly, used the dust sticker, I watched the video, I timed the UV light with a stop watch on my old phone, etc. I will have to remove the second screen because the lines are growing slowly over time as the adhesive has failed.

Hm that is weird. I love Whitestone and as long as I follow the video it seems to always go on without much fuss.
 
No complaints so far. Put one on my iPhone XS Max and don't even notice (unless I look at the notch of course).
My Note9 unlocked looks like it has a factory screen protector already on it? Am I supposed to peel it off? There is the hard plastic one with a tab that comes off but there is a film under it that peeled up a little when I put the vzw kickstand case on it?

I can't help with that. I don't have a Note 9.
