Screenmend Window Screen Repair Kit - 5"x7" Patch Charcoal (2 Patches)

I was skeptical about how easy to use this Screenmend repair kit would be and how well it would work. But it's just as promised: clean the area around the hole, cut the sheet to fit, hold it in place, and blast it with a hot hair dryer for well under a minute. Several days after using it, the patch is still securely in place. It's also easier to apply and less noticeable than the Secopad screen repair tape I also bought. Screenmend is not a perfect replacement for a new screen, but it works much better than I expected. I'd post a pic but I can't take one that clearly shows the repair patch; that's how nicely it blends in.

This product performs as advertised and is very easy to use. It makes repairing holes in screens very quick and easy. Just cut the size needed (with extra all around for adherence), use a hair dryer on it and you are done! It couldn’t be easier.

This product works very well once properly adhered, but for it to work correctly you NEED a heat gun. The packaging says a hair dryer will cut it, but that does not get it hot enough at all, and it will peel off in a few days. After that initial failure I redid it with the heat gun and it's been holding strong for 4+ months now.

These are extremely easy to apply. Just cut and apply heat with a hair dryer. They are perfect! And seem to have a strong adhesion. This is a perfect quick fix until I replace the entire screen. I did try it on a larger hole that was along the bottom edge. It worked as well, but is not ideal because it has to adhese to the screen frame! The instructions are easy to follow. I would purchase again and reccomend to others.

I was initially very impressed with this product. The screen mend went on quickly and easily with high heat from a hair dryer. It seemed to adhere well to the screen. However, I used these to repair a few tears in the screens on my pop up camper and when I folded the screens to put it away, the screen mends immediately fell off. These would probably work well on a screen that is not manipulated much if at all. Maybe on a window screen or sliding screen door. But if they’re going on something that will be exposed to any sort of movement like in camping or marine applications, I’d look elsewhere.

A hurricane through our area pushed a tree branch through the screen on our porch. These screen patches saved us from having to fight off the misquotes from entering or having to cover the hole with duck tape (ugly solution). They are easy to cut and fit and seal to the existing screen in minutes with just a regular hair dryer on high. We used one patch inside of the screen on the biggest hole and then added a larger patch on the outside to be sure the it was covered securely. Several other smaller holes seemed to do fine with just one patch on the inside. It's really hard to see them once they are in place. They have held up well through 2 more hurricanes so far this year. We have extra patches on hand in case this happens again.

I don’t normally give reviews, however, this stuff is amazing. I had tried the tape that was a waste of money. I’ve had the repair for at least a year and it’s still working great.

Nice for a quick fix but only for very small holes.
