  Wanting screens for the front door windows of our '85 Westy, I went to
our local Lowes last week and purchased a roll of fiberglass screening and
two 10' rolls of 1/2" wide magnetic tape.

  Assembly was easy. I started by placing the magnetic tape around the
window (it took just under 10' per window). I then removed the backing
paper from the self-adhesive side and pressed the screen (cut oversized)
against it. Carefully removing it so the magnets didn't come loose (that
self-adhesive doesn't work well on screen), I took them in the house and
applied low-temperature hotmelt glue along the magnet strips. A final
trimming of excess screen and, voila, two nice window screens.

  Now, if only the sliding door screen would arrive, we'll be sleeping as
bug-free as possible without applying shrink-wrap to our bus.
