How To Easily Patch A Window Screen
What to do when your window screens look like they’ve been through a
gunfight?
Do your window screens look like they’ve been through a gunfight, and
you haven’t got money or time to replace them? Well, don’t despair. To
repair holes in aluminum screens, cut a patch slightly larger than the
hole. Pull off one strand of wire on each side and bend remaining edge
wires downward.
Place the patch over the hole with bent-wire ends sticking through, and
crimp them over on the backside to hold it. For fiberglass screens, cut
a slightly larger patch and place it over the hole, matching the
pattern. Add a thin bead of epoxy cement or super glue, even clear caulk
will do, and dab off any excess before it dries. You can glue aluminum
screening, too. It’s a process of trial and error.
