screen quick fix

[Marilee]

If you just have a small hole or tear in a screen, fix it! Step 1: Try weaving the screen back together with a long needle. Step 2: Once the pieces are back in place, paint both sides with clear nail polish.

1: For a larger hole, you can patch it with another piece of screen.

2: Cut a piece of new screen about an inch larger than the hole. Pull a few strands of screen out so you’re left with a patch taht you can weave into the screen.

If you have a worn and tattered screen, replace it! It’s easy to do.

1: Pry part of the old spline out with an awl or screwdriver (Spline is a thin rubber rope that holds the screen in the frame). Pull the entire spline out of the frame.

2: Remove the Screen

3: Lay the new screening out over the frame and trim it back so you have an extra inch on all four sides.

4: Use grip clamps to hold the screen on one side.

5: On the edge opposite the clamps, pull the screen taut and use a spline roller to push new spline into the frame. Continue until all sides are finished.

6: Use a screwdriver to gently push the spline securely into the corners of the frame.

7: Trim away any excess with a sharp utility knife.

Arrg! Well, to begin with, what am I going to be doing with nail polish? Secondly, by the time I have a few screwdrivers, I look more worn and tattered than the screen. Whenever I use the grip clamp, the nurse comes in and tells me to "Stop that!", and finally, they don't let me near a knife.
Even if I was able to somehow pull this all off, by the time I'd get it all done, the room would be full of bugs.
Your plan needs revision. Bah !

Don't listen to Cynic , Marilee, he is simply off his medication. He is a good friend, harmless, and probably just jealous of your fabulous idea. Feel free to let him have it, if you so desire. It makes for colorful reading, and you can tell he's just begging for it.
