FiberFix Screenmend Window Screen Repair Kit 1-2" x 80" Roll (Silver-Gray)

Our dog, kids, and errant patio umbrellas have done great damage to a lot of our screens. some are aluminum and some are fiberglass. I have no desire to replace them all. This tape was a great compromise. It is easy to install as long as you have a blow dryer or heat gun. It's great on small tears and does a serviceable job on larger ones. You definitely can see the tape after installation, so it's not a magical return to new, but it seems sturdy and worked well on both the aluminum and fiberglass screens. Make sure to install the tape so that the grid lines line up with the grid lines on screen so that it minimizes the visibility of the tape.

Fast and easy to use. I can't say it's the nicest thing to look at, but neither was the hole in our back screened in porch. We really needed it mended. A squirrel originally chewed it's way in to get at our dog's food/water. We only keep water out there now. Squirrel finally stopped coming, but then a bird discovered the hole and kept trying to build a nest on our shelves inside the porch. Fought that bird all summer. Ended up using cardboard and magnets stuck to inside and outside of the screen. But that was not a long term solution and not weather friendly. Found this product and did 3 rows to cover the the hole. The adhesive melted within seconds with the blow-dryer. Was prepared for a grueling task, but was easy and done in 5 minutes. We used two people. One on the outside of the porch with the blow-dryer and tape and the other on the inside of the porch with a cardboard box to be pressed against. I was worried it would stick to the box too, but it didn't. I wish I had thought to take a "before" picture, so could have shared.

It seems to work well enough and keeps the bugs out. The tape wasn't sticky at all but I decided to give it a try and it stuck right away once I used my heat gun on it. I recommend a pair of heat proof, coated gloves to protect your fingers.

I've repaired about 10 holes in screen over a month ago and so far they haven't fallen off. It definitely works better if you can remove the screen so you can have pressure on both sides, but one time I did a patch where I couldn't and it worked, but was a bit trickier because to hold the patch on the screen you have to touch it and then of course the adhesive sticks to your finger and wants to pull off when you remove your finger. It's easy enough to get the hang of though.My best technique is to hold a corner with your finger and then use the hair dryer nozzle to press the patch onto the screen. Since the dryer is right there the adhesive is melted well and when you remove the dryer the patch stays on the screen.The only negative is the patches are far from invisible. First you've got the difference in color between the screen and the patch (even if you buy the same color old screen will have faded over time), and you've got different weave spacings of the screen and patch, and even if you happen to luck out and the weaves are the same, you've still got the issue of trying to align them perfectly which is difficult. Buy hey, this is a cheap patch. If you want perfection then spend the money and replace the whole screen.

The size of the screen grid and color don’t match the hole itself. But this works as advertised and keeps bugs from getting through.

Perfect repair within a few minutes. Looks good. Can still see the ripped silhouette so recommend do one one inside and one on outside. Black is is too dark for silver screens. Order the silver, it looks lighter but it literally melts into the screen to look so seamless. Took 15 mins on screen door and 5 on window screen. Hair dryer needed.

I would at strongly suggest using another product for your screen patch repair tasks.The paper "backing" on this roll literally fell of the screen material when I removed the roll from the case (... Wow).It took 2 people to perform the tasks that was advertised as a "one person job" (see product video).One person had to hold up the screen patch, and the other used the hair dryer. It required two hands to hold the patch in place since there was absolutely no adhesive stickiness to hold the patch in place. Once the patch heated up enough, we then had to use a spatula to smooth down the "adhesive" that was softened by the hair dryer because it wouldn't stick as well as it should have to the surrounding screen material without some serious help.Heating the patch even more didn't help because the patch material would just curl like crazy if it was over heated.Bottom line:1. Material doesn't stick to the screen to be patched.2. You need 2 people to perform the patch work3. Once heated the adhesive will not stick to the screen without help from a firm press from a flat surface like a spatula.Please, consider using another brand!

Our window screens suffered storm damage. Over half the screens in our home had rips, tears, and small to med sized holes. I used the whole role of tape and fixed all of the screens in less than an hour. Once you have the tape cut to the appropriate size for the damaged area, peel the backing off, hold it up to the screen, turn on the blow dryer and within seconds the adhesive is like magic. I was unsure what color to choose for my screen. I chose the silver grey and it's a bit more silver than grey next to my current screen, but I think the darker color would have looked too dark. I can definitely see the patches from the inside of the house but don't notice it so much looking at the outside of my house. I've had the repaired screens back up for a couple of months now and the adhesive seems just fine. Overall I'm happy with the product.
