Gorilla Glass Settings

We've found that Gorilla Glass cleans reliably with laser when we prioritize its strong energy absorption, which removes surface residues effectively without excessive material removal. This lets us restore clarity on delicate displays in electronics repair. But in the middle of passes, its limited heat spreading can build localized stress—so reduce speed to prevent cracking the chemically toughened layers.
