I have a long tear in my patio screen door. Can I cut each patch in two, or would it be too thin to stick?

It will patch it (with 2 people) but screen will look terrible. Would not recommend this product for large tears.

I don't think this product works very well on long tears...you are probably better off with completely replacing the damaged screen.

I cut mine to size all the time and it works just fine. I have alot of different size tears and this product works great and takes from 30 seconds to 1 minute to complete.

I could not even get it to patch a four inch tear in mine. Followed direction precisely & it would not stick.

Our is the same way, we decided to buy the "extreme Velcro" and cut it into pieces. We used the velcro to adhere to around the door frame and house and it's worked like a charm. We ended up doing this on two doors, and it works so well, we left if up over thew winter. We only have to replace one piece of velcro that came off the house (adhesive wore off). By far the best solution. The velcro is here: VELCRO - Industrial Strength - Extreme - 4" x 1" Strips, 10 Sets - Titanium

The strips can be cut using a utility knife. The strips are made to fit an exterior door, so they are about 1 and 1/2 inches deep. That might be kind of deep for a folding door.

prepare the area well with acetone or mineral spirits, you may want to use staples or short roof nails to keep the edges of the slit down, then seal the slit and all the staple/nail heads with Eternabond, it'll last..

If you have the original screen frames and want to replace just the torn screens, any hardware store can replace the fabric screen. If you need two new complete panels, you would have to order them from Patio Mate.

I'd buy 2. They are very thin and you could stick the first on the door and the second strip to it to close any gaps

I suppose if you got two sets, attached magnates on the side with out them, but that would be a pain. Or perhaps do some measuring,then go to a hardware store and purchase an appropriate roll of screen. You can use (black) duct tape to attach it to the sides without the magnates. I use this process to fix holes in the screen. Put tape on both sides of the screen so that the tape sticks to its self.

The tarp has grommets on the ends, so I suppose you could connect the tarps at the grommets (wire-ties, string) and make a longer tarp, might be difficult to hide your splice and make it look good. If there is a beam in the middle that your tarp stretches over (like in the picture on the amazon website) you could line up the grommets and put a single screw through both tarps and stretch it out from there.

If you're concerned try roughing the surface first, that will give the resin more places to stick. in my experience it isn't a good idea to use only part of a package; its water activated so if there is any moisture in the air it will cure on its own, so if you need less buy the two inch instead, but for a heavy duty job like pipe repair I would go for 4 inch and use most or all of it, that's how it was designed.

No experience with tearing because I haven't had that problem. However, I am a seamstress, and I'm wondering if there isn't a type of fabric glue that would seal the edges and prevent further fraying. Check with a craft store such as Joann Fabrics or Michaels. Perhaps there are vinyl patches you could apply also.

No, not unless the paint is already loose. I used it around a painted steel patio door all winter. The best weatherstrip I've ever used, but don't expect to open the door or window until the tape is completely removed.

The specific cat door I purchased and the one in the picture I have been asked to review, is recommended for "thin doors and screens up to 1/2-inch thick." I installed it into a 1/2 thick screen porch wall...anything thicker, such as an interior wall or typical door would not work for this specific product. You need to get a cat door recommended for whatever thickness your wall or door is. I did not have to frame the opening...just cut out the hole and the door itself acted as the frame.

Good morning. We use it for a similar situation, but did not try to adhere it to the glass. We hung the screen from grommets and had great success with that. The weight of the screen itself kept it smooth. Our area was enclosed and we did not have to worry about drafts or movement rippling the screen.

I had a small hole in my Patagonia down jacket and I did not want to send it out for repair through them (it can take up to 30 days to get products back from them when sent out for repair). Patagonia suggested that I patch the hole with Tenacious Tape. I took their advice and the patch has worked perfectly. I would recommend for smaller holes/tears. Hope this helps!

In my opinion, you will want a larger piece, OR you will want to cut multiple strips.. this tape isn't very wide. It will keep the carpet tacked down in place, but the first time someone kicks up a corner, it will definitely come loose. The adhesive just isn't that strong... it may stick pretty good on your (clean) hard wood, but it won't stick that well to the underside of the carpet. If you want to use velcro for this job, you'll want larger pieces of velcro, ideally with a much more durable glue. Several projects I have accomplished with this tape have failed... and I even hot glue gunned the velcro to one of my pieces. That's my experience... good luck. Mark

The way the screen is set up there is only one opening. Depending on what you have for doors, I think you could be creative and cut the screen on the end.
