3" x 3" Aluminum Window Screen Patch - Make-2-Fit Repair

Richard Ellis: Repurposed this dcreen. I cut and fit the screen to cover the Plaster of Paris in the bottom of my insect killing jars. It prevents these insects from touching the plaster which can be moist from the acetone killing agent. It works very well as part of my Summer Science Project.

BK: Used this when I restored a candle lantern to prevent wasps from entering the chimney. Worked great. Seems to be good quality. Not sure how good it would look on a screen repair. But hey, it's a screen patch.

BlondieGal: Works good. Not easy to install by yourself. You need someone on the outside to push against the screen as you push the tiny things through the screen. My sister (on the inside) had to wear reading glasses to see the tiny strips, and had to use tweezers to keep them straight to go through the screen openings.

A tip: The person on the outside should pull on the strips to get patch as close as possible to the screen, and then fold the ends down.

Amazon Fan: Window Screen Repair Aluminum Patch 3-Inch x 3-Inch, Gray (Pack of 5) is very handy & works well. The only thing is you have to be able to have hands on the other side as well, during installation. It won't work if you cannot access the other side of your screen by hand, for example an upstairs window with a screen that does not lower or raise up. You would have to get someone on a ladder on the other side while you are on the inside.

Maister: It is easy pulling some of the lines out and pushing it through the screen, but it is fairly obvious where the patch is and I'm not sure how to have it really tied in with the old screen. Are you supposed to reweave it yourself for each strand? Functional enough, but I imagine there are better solutions. But for cheap and easy and with low expectations, it does a good job.

Michael LaBossiere: I bought these to repair some holes made by carpenter bees. Apparently they are willing to work with screens, too.

The best thing about this repair kit is that the patches are real metal screen material. Some repair kits are nothing more than plastic patches with lines on them. If you want to do a proper repair, I'd suggest these.

The patches are easy enough to put in place: remove a bit of wire on either side of the patch, press into the screen and then bend the prongs back, locking the patch in place.

The one downside of the product is that you just get one size-but these can be trimmed to fit.
