Excellent presentation; but you should mention that spline comes in at least 3 thicknesses. On my first attempt I wound up trying to pound an oversized spline into the groove using a hammer.
This tool is one of the most frustrating things I've ever had to try to use! This splining tool is worthless. The wheel is beveled so the spline is not held in position. The plastic nub on the other end, used to push in spline corners is so weak it bends and splits in half. It's disgusting that products like this make it to market! An atrocity of this makes a profit. Not disappointed, appalled!
Wear gloves when you're doing this or you're going to regret it right away. It's a nice product, but it's fiberglass and it itches. Regular vinyl gloves work fine.
I appreciate this video bc I am remodeling my son's room and was doing this over cracks and then started questioning my method. Soooo, like any normally sane person I took to you tube to valid myself, you the only video I could find that wasn't just using it for seams ... wheeww 😅 thank you!
Excellent thank you, was deciding whether to go paper or Fiba-fuse. I have my answer! I've never much liked paper and have had the odd bubbling problem. Thanks
I'm new in construction (tile) and my brother gave me a roll of this like "here, you might need it" but didn't tell me how to use it. I needed it today (I swear the drywallers are getting worse the farther we go). Wow it's easier than I expected!
I bought one to change the screen on my patio sliding screen door but it is not going to work on my door frame because the frame is not flat like the one in this video mine has like 2 steps to it the tool will not work I bought it for nothing a waste of money for me😒😒
DON'T CUT THE WAY THEY SHOW!!!! Cut from the top down the way I instinctively wanted to. I thought their method was better so did it and cut the opposite side in the process. I had to take the whole thing apart and start over😢
I just put a patch like that to a Window screen, which the mesh is plastic (not metal), I cut a little square from a spare mesh with a scissors and pasted it with crazy (super) glue.
The problem i had was the aluminum screen tearing/ cutting as i was installing the cord with the roller. It took me a few trys and wasted screen before i got one that came out decent.
Thanks! Suppose I didn't really need to watch this, but always good to get validation that I had the right idea. Thank you again for the great video without a bunch of extra BS!
I don't know if its just my computer, but the volume is very low even when turned all the way up and the talking is out of sync. I'm having to use CC to understand what is being said. I do appreciate the explanations of different compounds. Question though: Isn't Fibafuse self-adhesive? Does it need a setting compound to go underneath, or is this talking about what goes over it?
No, fibafuse is not self adhesive like mesh tape. You have to apply mud first then apply it, however you do not need as much mud underneath like when using paper tape.
A no nonsense instruction video, clear and to the point, great job! I opted to cut the spline for each side. I did shorter sides first, then the longer ones. I figured that way the screen would twist less. It worked out great! Note: don't worry about saggy/loose screen - the screen tightens as you push the spline in. You can probably bounce a coin on my new screen 🙂👌
We grew up with metal screens in our windows. We never had to replace them and they kept insects out. They also protected the windows when we cut grass and kicked a rock against the screens. They creased but did not break. Unlike the nylon mesh screens. All you have to do is look at them wrong and they have holes. My dad replaced all of his windows and they came with nylon screens. He swapped them for aluminum mesh. Say what you will buy aluminum mesh will still be standing when the nylon has fallen apart. With anything when you assemble it you have to be careful not to damage it. The first few you do may not turn out as well. But after you do 12 or 13 you become a expert! Great vid and glad some one is showing aluminum screens some love!
