Used this to cover a large tear in a screen door. The patch is definitely visible up close and even from a distance, but it looks far better than a gaping hole. It applied easily, stuck well, and restored the screen’s function immediately. So far it’s holding strong and should last through the summer while keeping bugs out. Read more
I bought this screen repair tape because several of my window screens had holes. It definitely does its job and keeps flies and bugs from getting in. It’s not the most aesthetically pleasing fix, but honestly I don’t think any repair tape would blend perfectly with a screen anyway. The important part is that it works. Using it is simple. Just measure the size of the hole, cut a piece of tape slightly larger than the damaged area, press it firmly onto the screen, and you’re done. It gives you a quick and easy repair that holds up well. Mine have held up for months through rain, heat and snow. Read more
This stuff works really well. It's super adhesive and while it doesn't make it pretty, it definitely makes your screen cleaner-looking. Yes, you absolutely should put the tape on both sides of the screen. The adhesive is very, very sticky and if you place them so they are facing each other, the gooey adhesive will merge together and provide you with that much more stability, even with "dusty" screens (although. It's easy to cut and apply. You might end up with some adhesive on your fingers but it's easy to peel off. I bought this because I have a cat who thinks screens are cat-optional for access to the backyard. This tape definitely deterred him for a couple of weeks. But then he realized he can just slowly claw away at it and remove the tape. And claw away he did. Almost all of the tape that I put up on the inside has been removed (I doubled up on the outside and he even somehow was able to claw that out. I've tried to periodically replace what he has torn off but I ran out of tape. That said, if you don't have a cat who is hell-bent on getting out, screens be damned, then this tape works very well for minor and even major patches. My cat managed to entirely separate the screen from the edges and I used this tape to repair the huge hole he clawed through and it did so pretty quickly and easily. Even though this tape is very cheap and affordable, I think I'm going to apply the money towards re-screening the screen (there's an awesome cat-proof heavy duty screen out there on Amazonland - some guy posted his cat actually trying to claw open the screen to no avail). Bottom line, this is great if you don't want to have to completely re-screen your door. But if you have animals with zero f's given like I do, then I'd probably try another approach. Read more
Worked very well for what I needed it for. Very sticky. I had little birds trying to make a nest in the top of my propane tank. Put this over the holes and they have stopped. Plus the mesh let's air in still. Great product. Read more
Worked perfectly - just what I was looking for! Easy to use and very sticky. Read more
Works great, easy to use. Saves replacing window screens that have small holes. I'd say it's probably best for less than 6 inches tears for optimal results, BUT I haven't tried it for longer tears. Application can leave a little sticky glue on your finders, so I used the clear tape backing to smooth the tape to the screen. I ALSO placed the screen on a thin baking pan under the screen to provide something to press against when I applied the tape. THAT worked very well. I repaired 12 screens and have lots of tape left over. Read more
Covered the holes in the screen, but doesn't stick well and was very noticeably different from the rest of the screen Read more
This stuff actually works. I was skeptical, but it proved me wrong. Not only that it was easy to do. If you have ever repair a hole in drywall, the steps are the same. If you haven’t, no worries. You’ll be just fine. I’ll tell you what I did and you will get great results as well. 1. I trimmed the area of the hole. Getting rid of any frayed screen. Leaving only a clean hole. 2. Sprayed the screen front and back with our sink sprayer nozzle. Allowed it to completely dry. 3. I layed out a piece of wax paper on the surface I was going to be laying the screen on. This product is very sticky. The sticky will not stick to the wax paper. 4. I layed the screen flat over the wax paper. Cut lengths of this screen product to fit the hole. And, then flipped the screen over and did the same to the other side. I did this for two reasons. One-make the repair stronger. Two-anything that comes in contact with the sticky will stick to it. That means dirt, bugs, whatever. That would be rather unsightly! That’s it. It’s that simple. I should point out that the screen repair IS NOT breathable, but it is repaired, and not much air circulation will be lost. Main thing is-it’s repaired. Read more
