After the adhesive is cut, it cannot be used to re-seal the display in place, so you'll need to apply a new set of adhesive strips.Before you start placing strips, remove all of the old adhesive. Use a spudger to scrape up an edge, then peel with your fingers.Remove all of the remaining adhesive strips from the iMac's frame and display glass.
