One way would be to simply cut a small "patch" of screen & glue it over the torn area. Or you could do what I did & replace the whole screen & upgrade to no see 'em proof screen, if that's ever an issue for any of you. If it *is* you will want to upgrade! I bought my very fine screen from Marin Outdoors, but it is a stock item in many outdoor equipment outlets, such as REI, etc. About a month back a listmember described the sewing process step by step, so I won't repeat here. Go to the archives, it's worth it if you plan to do it. It requires an hour or so of careful hand sewing with the pop top up. I did mine one afternoon at a the beach when highly motivated... It's a very Zen activity. Relax & enjoy it. Phaedra '85 Westy-Wolf "Hester" |
