You can fix minor holes and tears in window screening with
glue, an awl, metal thread and pre-manufactured patches. A
fiberglass screen can be fixed by sewing a patch over the
hole. Typically, you won't have to remove the screen
window unit to make this repair.
Repairing a metal screen with a patch means removing the
screen window unit to do so. |

 Repair holes
in plastic or fiberglass screens by sewing a screen patch
over the hole. Pull "threads" from the patch material.
Small holes can sometimes be closed with waterproof glue.
Use it sparingly and wipe away any drips before the glue
hardens. |

For holes in metal mesh, pull cross threads from the
patch's edges. Bend the wires and push them through the
mesh around the hole and crimp the ends. Smaller holes can
often be fixed by reshaping the mesh with a toothpick or a
straightened paper clip. |
