Perfect repair within a few minutes. Looks good. Can still see the ripped silhouette so recommend do one one inside and one on outside. Black is is too dark for silver screens. Order the silver, it looks lighter but it literally melts into the screen to look so seamless. Took 15 mins on screen door and 5 on window screen. Hair dryer needed.

I got this for a few small holes in screens. It’s really amazing and works well. I cut a tiny finger nail size square, stuck it on the hole, hit it with my blow drier and it was adhered well. Great easy fix. I also used it on a long vertical slice from my dogs paw. Long bigger pieces work just as well. (Just be careful because it cal look a little rough with too many on) small jobs great, for now jobs great, long term - big holes just replace it.

It seems to work well enough and keeps the bugs out. The tape wasn't sticky at all but I decided to give it a try and it stuck right away once I used my heat gun on it. I recommend a pair of heat proof, coated gloves to protect your fingers.

Our dog, kids, and errant patio umbrellas have done great damage to a lot of our screens. some are aluminum and some are fiberglass. I have no desire to replace them all. This tape was a great compromise. It is easy to install as long as you have a blow dryer or heat gun. It's great on small tears and does a serviceable job on larger ones. You definitely can see the tape after installation, so it's not a magical return to new, but it seems sturdy and worked well on both the aluminum and fiberglass screens. Make sure to install the tape so that the grid lines line up with the grid lines on screen so that it minimizes the visibility of the tape.

Item arrived quickly, no problem there. Read directions which include the words "place adhesive coated side against screen". When I opened the package, the white tear off strip was not stuck to the product which made me wonder if the adhesive was old or dried up. I did apply it to the screen but had to hold it rather that let the adhesive stick. It seems to have worked and it was not difficult and did not take long. It does look like a "patch job" but hoping it does the trick until I can replace our screen. We will see if it stands the test of time. 3 stars because it seems to have lost some of the adhesive

I would at strongly suggest using another product for your screen patch repair tasks.The paper "backing" on this roll literally fell of the screen material when I removed the roll from the case (... Wow).It took 2 people to perform the tasks that was advertised as a "one person job" (see product video).One person had to hold up the screen patch, and the other used the hair dryer. It required two hands to hold the patch in place since there was absolutely no adhesive stickiness to hold the patch in place. Once the patch heated up enough, we then had to use a spatula to smooth down the "adhesive" that was softened by the hair dryer because it wouldn't stick as well as it should have to the surrounding screen material without some serious help.Heating the patch even more didn't help because the patch material would just curl like crazy if it was over heated.Bottom line:1. Material doesn't stick to the screen to be patched.2. You need 2 people to perform the patch work3. Once heated the adhesive will not stick to the screen without help from a firm press from a flat surface like a spatula.Please, consider using another brand!

It's not expensive and it repairs screen just fine. Color might not match perfectly well but for me it doesn't matter. Replacing the whole screen is not cheap. I'm amazed it is still there after a year and a whole winter at minus 20 celsius, it holds pretty good but I did put a patch on both sides.

Fast and easy to use. I can't say it's the nicest thing to look at, but neither was the hole in our back screened in porch. We really needed it mended. A squirrel originally chewed it's way in to get at our dog's food/water. We only keep water out there now. Squirrel finally stopped coming, but then a bird discovered the hole and kept trying to build a nest on our shelves inside the porch. Fought that bird all summer. Ended up using cardboard and magnets stuck to inside and outside of the screen. But that was not a long term solution and not weather friendly. Found this product and did 3 rows to cover the the hole. The adhesive melted within seconds with the blow-dryer. Was prepared for a grueling task, but was easy and done in 5 minutes. We used two people. One on the outside of the porch with the blow-dryer and tape and the other on the inside of the porch with a cardboard box to be pressed against. I was worried it would stick to the box too, but it didn't. I wish I had thought to take a "before" picture, so could have shared.

Me encantó el resultado, y es fácil de colocar con la secadora. El parche si se ve, pero es una buena solución para evitar que se termine de romper tu mosquitero. Y llegó antes de la fecha.

I've repaired about 10 holes in screen over a month ago and so far they haven't fallen off. It definitely works better if you can remove the screen so you can have pressure on both sides, but one time I did a patch where I couldn't and it worked, but was a bit trickier because to hold the patch on the screen you have to touch it and then of course the adhesive sticks to your finger and wants to pull off when you remove your finger. It's easy enough to get the hang of though.My best technique is to hold a corner with your finger and then use the hair dryer nozzle to press the patch onto the screen. Since the dryer is right there the adhesive is melted well and when you remove the dryer the patch stays on the screen.The only negative is the patches are far from invisible. First you've got the difference in color between the screen and the patch (even if you buy the same color old screen will have faded over time), and you've got different weave spacings of the screen and patch, and even if you happen to luck out and the weaves are the same, you've still got the issue of trying to align them perfectly which is difficult. Buy hey, this is a cheap patch. If you want perfection then spend the money and replace the whole screen.

Mis expectativas por los suelos. Imaginé una reparación fabulosa pero la verdad es que ... No.El producto es facil de usar, no tiene ciencia pero no sé si el mio está malo o qué, no pega tan bien como esperé... Le he dejado mas tiempo y al dia siguiente se separa con soplarle, parece que está reparado pero solo esta "sobrepuesto" ni siquiera fijo.A mi en lo particular no me ha dado el resultado que esperaba y mucho menos la solucion que necesitaba a mis mosquiteros.Para el producto, cantidad y funcionalidad es caro en mi opinion.
