Cut in screen edge

Post by nativesonjls »

I was taping the screen of and propped the scissors and a 1/8 cut near the frame on the screen can I save this screen by covering the area with clear finger nail polish and re-taping? I know it will have to be replaced but budgets tight till I sell some shirts this weekend and the center area still seems tight for now.

Use packaging tape on both sides. (The stuff from USPS works REALLY well). Just be careful with your reclaims. Your screen will probably be fine for most prints, but you may have lost some tension in your screen which will most likely distort any kind of fine-line halftones.

Good luck!
