• Place the screen frame on your work area with the retainer spline-side up;
• Pry the spline loose at one corner with a screwdriver and pull the old spline out of the groove all the way around the frame;
• Remove the old screening and clean out the groove;
• Cut replacement screening at a 45-degree angle, with the centre of your cut right at the corner of the spline groove;
• Using the concave end of your screen repair tool, start at one corner of screen and roll screen and new spline into the groove at the same time;
• Make sure the screen is straight with the edges of the frame. If wrinkled or crooked, remove spline and redo;
• Trim off excess screen using a utility knife. Cut screen towards the outside of the frame to avoid cutting the new screen.
