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 dryer 3) 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.

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!

I purchased the roll of Screenmend, as I had several little holes in the screens of my sunroom windows where birds mistakenly flew into the windows. The product, for me, does what it says it will do. It easily repaired my screens so that bees, wasps, flies, and mosquitoes cannot enter through the screen. I snipped off the size that I needed to cover the holes, placed my customized patches over the holes, turned on hair dryer to 'hot', and almost instantly the pieces adhered to the screen. Yes, the repairs are slightly noticeable, especially if you are looking for them. But with practice lining up the patch with the screen, you can make a repair less obvious. It will never just disappear into the original screen, but this is a quick alternative to taking down the screen frame and replacing the screen in it. (Who knows where my roller is from when I replaced the storm door screen years ago.) So this product is quick, easy, effective. If a patch happens to come off in 6 months or a year, it is easily replaceable.

I waited through a spring season to write this review. Pros: 1) The price is great. 2) The ease of use. The instructions were very straightforward and simple to follow. I had an extension cord on hand so getting a hair dryer high up on my patio screen door was not a problem. 3) Quality. It rained quite a bit this past winter and my screen door has seen better days, but so far the product has held up in cold, rain, heat, and blistering sunshine without complaint. I also doubled up; I applied the mesh on both sides to ensure a solid grip and coverage. Cons: 1) This is not a dealbreaker, but nothing will ever match your patio screen door in color when it comes to these types of adhesive meshes. You must be okay with it not matching exactly with the actual screen. 2) Related to Pro #2, I can see how using a hair dryer might be troublesome if you're not near an outlet or if the appliance cord isn't long enough. Summary: Short of spending a ton more on a new screen door, this works for me!

The product I received appeared to be aged as the paper protecting the adhesive was not stuck to the screen patch. The adhesive side was not even tacky as I assumed it should be. I went ahead anyway and cut the appropriate sized patch, about 8" long, frome the inside end. I cleand both sides of the torn screen with denatured alcohol and made sure it was dry. I then tried to apply the patch material and of course it wouldn't stick in place because the adhesive was not tacky. I held it in place while heating with a hair dryer. It held in several places but for the most part simply let loose. This product did not work for me and I would not recommend to anyone and am going to attempte to get a refund.

Not quite as advertised in video. Repair screen should be tacky on one side to facilitate placement of patch. There is a backing that should adhere to the tacky side. It was completely non-adherent making placement more difficult. The final repair with the heat-sensitive adhesive component looks and mends effectively.

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!

I really like this product. It works better than I expected it to and it really does not too tacky! Sometimes you just don't want to have to replace the entire screen for a couple small holes. I have cats who love to hunt bugs through the screens. Cat always wins so this is a help! Every patch I've made has stayed on with no curling or peeling off. Product is easy to apply and easy to cut to size. Very durable.

We have squirrels. They’re crazy ! We have to patch screens often. This product worked substantially better than the competition. As you can see from the picture (this product on the right competition on the left), it’s fairly visible still but adhered and blended pretty easily with the hairdryer. The competition, well, I’ve been sitting here double the time and it is still a little tacky and the glue is not dissolving nor is it blending.

Fácil y práctico de usar.

Muy útil solo que el pegamento no agarra parece que el producto está caduco

El pegamento se pega al papel , es muy dificil mantener el pegamento, lo hice con demasiado cuidado y aun asi batalle mucho y eso que fue con pedazos pequenos, no quiero pensar si fuera un pedazo grande.

This product works! So easy to use. You cut a piece off from roll unless you got the patches. pull backing off of it and apply “sticky”(will not be sticky, will look and feel dried out) side to screen and turn blow dryer on to hottest setting. The heat activates the glue and it becomes sticky. I did two patches on one screen and one of them had a huge hole. It’s works. Now we shall see how long it lasts. So far I’m happy.
