What adhesive / glue is best for screen replacement?

I recently shattered the screen of my Motorola Atrix 4G. I purchased replacement screens (yes, multiple) from Global Direct Parts.

"Yohotown is an eBay store that sells 2mm double-sided tape for this purpose:

Hi, Roger. If you don't have the specific adhesive strips for your phone, 3M double-sided adhesive tape is your best option. You can cut the tape to length to match your phone. The rolls that iFixit sells provide enough adhesive for about one hundred screens. As others have mentioned, be sure to remove the existing adhesive before applying the new adhesive strips. You can use iFixit's adhesive removal kit or your preferred brand of adhesive remover.

"The best glue to re-adhear just a corner or side of your screen is two part expoxy (Alraldite) the quck 5 min set one is the only one to use.

I do phone repairs and use this reguarly. Its the best method available for lack of something better.

Ultimatly removing the screen, removing all the old adhessive and reapplying the proper manufactured adhessive gasket cut sheet is best,

But for a quick job that works well use Alraldite.

Mix and apply with a tooth pick and use sparingly.

Using Aralidite the screen can still be easilly removed in the future if it requires replacing.

Note:Superglue is not recommended for use adhearing glass. (The instructions will state that) Its a bad choice. Also super glue will break apart from one minor drop."

"I used superglue on my phone. you don't have to worry about never getting it back off if you need to get into the phone. you need to worry about the screen not staying in. I sat my phone on the table and the glass slide off of the phone!

Update

I wouldn't recommend superglue. I shattered the screen to my lg nitro and used super glue. I sat my phone on the table and I seen a gap on my phone screen I picked up my phone and the screen fell out."
