What kind of glue can I use to reseal a cell phone?

[GoodEnough]

Gonna replace the cracked LCD this weekend.
I assume no Krazy Glue in case it needs to be opened in the future.

Do I need a special glue?
I read to use Gorilla Glue.

Can I just use Elmer's?
What about using a generic wood glue?

For fastening the screen to the frame? If so you want to use a double side adhesive tape like this--

Depending on what phone you are repairing you may also be able to buy a pre cut tape kit with the pieces already cut into the proper shapes for your specific phone.

I would suggest finding a good repair video on youtube and watching it all the way through before starting.

I did buy some 2x sided tape, but I ended up not using anything. I just heat gunned the back, and pressed it back into place.
