    Something I don’t understand about the anti-glue sentiment: how do you make a device waterproof without glue or sealant?

      Old Casio watches managed to do it with just screws. We live in the future, I’m sure there’s a way to fasten a phone together waterproof with just rubber gaskets and mechanical fasteners instead of glue.

        Ah yeah, rubber gaskets! I totally forgot about those. With today’s manufacturing capabilities it should be possible to create super-thin gaskets without affecting product design too much.

          Absolutely! With today’s advanced manufacturing technologies, it is indeed possible to produce super-thin rubber gaskets that maintain a strong seal without significantly impacting the product design. Modern rubber equipment is capable of creating precision-engineered gaskets tailored to specific applications, ensuring that they are both durable and effective while being as thin as necessary to meet design requirements. Whether you’re dealing with complex machinery or high-performance systems, the right rubber equipment can produce gaskets that balance thinness with functionality, providing the perfect solution for maintaining seals without compromising on design integrity.
