Screenmend Window Screen Repair Kit, 2" x 80" Roll, Charcoal

My window screens make swiss cheese jealous with the amount of holes. I was concerned that some of the holes would require replacing the entire screen. Well, I was wrong. And I feel good admitting it! I was able to get the holes mended in just a minute or two per hole and all of my screens repaired within 30 minutes!Here's how easy it is:1) Cut the screen mend to the length large enough to cover the hole and then about 1/4-1/2 in on each side. If the hole is wide enough you need to put a second strand parallel, make sure you over lap the screenmend.2) Grab a hair dryer3) Place the screen mend against the screen and start blow drying on high heat.4) Watch...the adhesive melts away and that's when you know it's good to go. Keep going until you see all the adhesive disappear.5) Enjoy a nice breeze with no bugs.

I got this to repair a small hole that was big enough to be letting bugs in and it worked great and just as described in the instructions. Another problem I had with my screen was a foot long run right along the edge of the door where the screen is held in place. It wasn't as concerning for me because the screen only slightly rested away from where it should be and as such, it wasn't really letting in bugs. However, I figured I might as well give a shot at repairing it.In the first picture, I used a small dental type hook to pull the rubber strip out of the damaged section of screen. In the second, I placed a strip of the screen repair material over the screen and under the rubber strip. The third photo shows the results of pushing the rubber strip back into place. After that, I used a heat gun to melt the glue and adhere the repair strip to the existing screen. This worked fantastically!While I did use a heat gun for this, it is most definitely not necessary. A hair dryer will get plenty hot enough to do the job. The glue dries fairly rigid once applied and doesn't feel sticky at all. This truly is a great product. I don't offer 5 stars lightly!If these repairs fail over time, I'll be sure to update this review. If there's been no update, you can assume that it's still holding up!

My cat has destroyed my screen and I didn’t see any point in having it replaced just so she can do it again. This was, therefore, a cheap solution.. it’s very easy to use and works great. Its just not great to look at but I don’t mind.

This is my review of the Window Screen Repair Kit, 2" x 80" Roll, Charcoal. We have had a set of screen curtains that I made around our Cabana for over 3 years now. This year is the first year that we started to get some small holes in the screen. I wanted to get something to repair the screen right away so that the holed would not get any bigger. This showed as one of the best sellers in that area and I liked how it looked like you could barely see the repair. So I went ahead and bought some. How you use this Screen Repair is your cut a peice of the repair screen to cover your hole and leave about an inch around that bigger. Then you peel off the backing and place this on the hole and use a hairdryer to heat the glue to mend the too together. This did a great job on mending the holes in my screen and you can hardly see the patch. I even cut one of the patches in the shape of a butterfly and you can barely see it! So easy to do and I have a whole roll of this to use anytime another hole pops up! Would highly recommend this to anyone for simple quick screen repair!

Nearly impossible to separate the backing without damaging the screen material.

The product was obviously old because the paper that was supposed to be adhered to the mesh was completely off. I managed to work with it. I am hoping that the heat from the sun will give it the final seal. I would recommend buying it from Home Depot

The media could not be loaded. This is a easy product to use. The directions are simple and easy. I held the piece I cut for the patch over our screen with one finger and had the hair dryer with other hand and started the adhesion process then removed my finger and did the rest of my patch work. I could see the patch piece heating up as the heat was hitting it so I could do the entire piece. Also one needs to make sure your piece your using is on the correct side as only one side has the melting substance on it. U can tell cause the piece will melt but not stick correctly just flip it over and keep using the hair dryer. Does it blend in perfectly no that's going to happen however I have stopped all bugs most importantly Mosquitoes from entering our pool area. Now we can enjoy night time swimming again or movie night outside.!!! Pics are within 20 min of this products arrival.

I wish I had known about this screen mender sooner. So easy to use and it works.First unscrew the container lid. Unroll the amount you need. Cut to size, with scissors. Make sure you know which side is facing the paper. Remove paper. Place the cut screen mender side that was against the paper, to the hole on the window screen. With the dominant hand, turn on the dryer. I used an extension cord connected to my hair dryer to reach the screen. With the other hand, hold the cut screen mender in place. Blow high heat dryer air over it for a few seconds while you press down, making sure it sticks in place. Takes only a few seconds. Easy does it! It sticks great. No chance of bugs flying in anymore!It rates 5 Stars!
