How-To: Re-screening a fiberglass window screen.

In this video Rick demonstrates how to re-screen with fiberglass mesh using our screen table kit, along with our screen table jig set.

OK... I was sold and bought this set. This is what I found. First off, I'm making 34"x451/4" and 27 3/4"x45 1/4" frames with mitered corners. I made 4 screens and everyone of them looks like a potato chip. I didn't overstretch the fabric, just pulled it up off the table like the video says. Other major concern, there is no provision for the spring clips. I notice in the video, there are no spring clips on that frame. I tried squeezing the clips inside the jig and was working ok until I took the screen out of the jig, they snap up so fast that the both broke! Being that it was mitered corners, I was able to slide replacements into the corners. On the last screen, I left the corners off the screen and installed the screen, once again, it looked like a potato chip. I have to say, the jig does make the process go faster, but if I was using the plastic corner to connect the joints, I wouldn't be able to add the spring clips after assembly.
