Side Light screens

Post by flyboyjack »

swell, I'm s-l-o-w-l-y getting the rust stains out of my finish. The non-skid stuff is obviously much softer than the gelcoat so I may have to live with it a while longer. My next question is does anyone have any ideas for replacing torn screens from the cabin windows/side lights? The originals have the screen fabric pressed into the insert/gasket, but even if I can find replacements, they're most likely going to cost a lot!

Still throwin' money into the hole!!\

Replaced most of mine over the last five years. Here's how I did it:

Remove existing screen and save the frame
Scrape all the old screen off the frame
Take the new screen material and cut oversize 2-3 inches or more
Lay down a sheet of wax paper larger than the frame
Stretch the screen on a wood table or board and stable to secure
Use gorilla glue on the frame and place frame face down on the screen
Let cure and trim

Done
