After fighting to install 2 sides of a panel of screen I found this video. It took me 2 hrs, a huge blister on the inside of my hand and tears of frustration. After watching just 5 minutes of this video realizing I’m putting it in upside down. I’m not taking it out now…
But I tried the 3rd panel with just 5 minutes of knowledge and slides right in. I feel dumb, but ever so relieved
Oh my God this guy is a total genius!! I've seen over 20 videos and not one person got into detailing the hard part of the installation. At first I was going to exit out of your video immediately, because I found it too slow ..but decided to watch it to the end, and let me tell you ..you saved me a million aggravations!! God bless you Sir. I did it in 10 minutes. I also noticed that you video had many viewer's .. thousands and thousands of people,but very few decided to press the LIKE button. Your video should be THE MOST watched video in this type of work.. Gracias Amigo!!!!
Fabi Restrepo ....it’s so weird the package of flat spline don’t even have installation instructions.
Thank you so much, I was struggling until I watched your video. It was easy once I learned to do it the right way.
Thank you for this video. Spent 2 hours with terrible job and it was incomplete, and looked terrible. Using the flat spline was frustrating until i found your video with key hints and instructions. went back after viewing your video and had it finished perfectly in less that 30 minutes. the door and screen were old, so adding the dish soap was key.
Feeling sadly incompetent, after trying to re-screen before watching video, you saved my day, Stephen! Thanks!!! Went like a dream after watching. I can't believe they don't explain this on the bag of spline.
Richard Sosnowski dont follow this tutorial. Its very wrong.
Thank you for explaining in perfect dtail of how the spline actually goes into the groove. I was struggling until I watched this. Great job thank you again
Thank you from saving me from a nervous breakdown. After two trips to Home Depot, I was about to go crazy. Your video was perfect!
trixonik ....I made a minimum of two trips and was very frustrated myself. Luckily a Lowes employee tip me off to the deep and shallow side of the frame.
I was getting no where with my screen installation. This is very helpful. Thank goodness for RUclips.
I have done bunch of screen enclosures with flat spline. Generally all that was said in this video is right. Couple of things I'd recommend: 1) in the demonstration with the 4" piece you start pressing in the middle of the spline. No good. Always start at the beginning of the spline. It will make your life a lot easier. Also as you go down the line, especially on long streches you can put that spline against the groove and pull on it gently. It will go in without trouble. 2) When you put the screen against the groove point that roller (sharp wheel) into the deep groove in about 45 deg angle and pre roll that screen as demostrated here. Spline will go in super easy. 3) If you need to remove the spline, pry the end like Stephen did and pull ALONG. Don't try tu pull it in 90 dergree angle or what have you, it will likely brake and you'll have to start over. This is especially true for old brittle spline.
how did you hold the screen up in place as you started to keep it tight?
Excellent and detailed instructions! Earlier attempts to re-screen with flat spline nearly got me admitted to an insane asylum! This video certainly cracked the code to the mystery of getting this job done properly. Thank you again!!!
Excellent information on flat spline, but also remember to check the grooves for any old screen that didn't come out because it will give you problems. Thankyou for the video, was very informative👍
Thank you for taking the time to do this video. I've been trying to redo a screen door and it has been driving me crazy trying to get the spline in. You helped me big time.
Thanks, never used the flat spline before and you helped me to replace quickly, and I was installing Florida glass screen which is considerly thicker than just screen, but your tips made it a 20 min. job
I found your "old video". Learned good things. I am up for repairs so this will help me. Thank you.
Didn't know the spline groove was deeper on one side. Thanks for the heads up on that.
thank you for taking the time with the drawing and explaining the difference in the grooves. This was needed to understand how it works. I actually replaced one of my screens with .190 round and it works well. Not sure if its ok to use that for the flat spline frame but it already survived a windy day.
Thank you for your video. Yours is the only one that I've found using the flat spline that I have because my house is 20 years old. You saved me hours of headache.
Thanks Stephen! About to do my first flat spine install and your video will prove very beneficial!
Thank you Stephen for taking the time to make this video very helpful. They're charging over $80 a panel for side panels here in Fort Myers Florida. After living here for 20 years I'm finally gonna try to do my own rescreening (at least on the sides).Looks pretty hot where you are!
I had a few panels damaged around the pool from dogs, a bear, and a hurricane so I went out today to take them on. 20 minutes of kneeling down with that tool was enough to know there had to be a better way, though I was making progress. Thanks for the tips, hopefully tomorrow will be more rapid and I can finish up. The main point I missed that I learned here was I was feeding the spline into the short side first. You can make it work that way but its difficult and risky to cut the screen. if you cut the screen on the outer edge its fine because you were going ro cut it anyway. Thanks! Id much rather watch a retrospective of lessons learned in the school of hard knocks than attend the class myself.
Very helpful with the diagrams. Once I watched this, my repair was completed effortlessly.
Flat Screen Spline should be OUTLAWED! Thanks you helped me A LOT!
Thank you ever so much..I was struggling and about to call an installer but, you saved my bacon and it actually started to become easy..I had 240 feet of lanai screen spline to do..you rock
Great video, this is the first and only video I needed to finally learn the correct way to install flat spline. Once you start the spine, its just as easy as round spline.
thanks!
.......Thank you. Hours of frustration made me want to find the correct way and show others. I have an Engineering degree, but this stuff stumped me bad till I found the tricks. What should have been a 1/2 job turned into frustrating hour mess, see more below under Marilyn Divock comment.
Perfect advice on this! I installed mine no problem after watching this
Great tips. After watching, my screen install went way easier than I was anticipating.
Thanks. Your video helped me a lot and you are right, it was a pain in the ass. I replaced a 12 foot section of my lower lanai. The parts costs me $50. A professional wanted $500. It took me about 3 hours, but I saved $450!!!!!!!
This video was extremely helpful! It took the fear of working with flat spline away. You are a wonderful teacher the way you break everything down and not assume that when you say something once that everyone should "get" what you are saying the first time. Thank you for that!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
AWESOME VIDEO! The fact that you took the time to do the diagrams and everything is very cool. Getting ready to do my patio screen and your video will surely save me alot of time and headache. Much appreciated!
Thank you for amazing explanation! Helped me set up the screen!
Thanks, you saved me $300. This video shows exactly how the spline goes in, otherwise I'd be guessing, swearing and giving up.
Can you at least help a brother out and send me $ 20.0 of that $300...........just kidding. When I get to 100,000 views on my youtube channel I hope to start monetizing some of my RUclips videos and make money that way. I'm at 55,000 views as of Dec 2016. Also if anyone hasn't subscribed to my channel that would help... Cheers.....
You really went out of your way to explain in detail. Appreciated and thank you 🙏
Flat spline is easier than round thanks to this video
You Sir are a life saver.
I know this is an old video but it saved my ass,lol. After I watched it I got my screen in first try and nice and tight. Thanks a ton for making the how to!!
You definitely got me off the idea to use flat spline!
2020 and still going strong! Thanks for the video!
Thank you! I thought it was just me 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful!
Thanks for the details! I’m heading out today to do mine!
Thank you! Very beneficial video!
Thank you! That is the kind of detail that makes so much sense!
You are watching video 2 0f 3 on Flat Screen Spline (FSS) right now.
..........Please see my other two videos on Flat Screen Spline (FSS) also.
............RUclips Video ( 1 of 3) describes many different types of screen splines including Flat Screen Splines (FSS). Here is the RUclips link to that video Screen/Spine video 1 of 3 ruclips.net/video/y8_zVihuYhM/видео.html
............RUclips Video ( 3 of 3) shows you how to use full strength dish to help insert the spline easier if you are having trouble. Hit this link for Video 3 of 3 ruclips.net/video/lBCvAfjerIA/видео.html
You da man! Thank you for posting this.
You just saved me! Thank you. Awesome video.
Great video gave all the close up details needed. Can you show how to add an aluminum skirt to the bottom of an existing screen room?
Thanks, your explanation solved my spline problem.
Stephen,,, Are you crazy!!!... You are using complete intelligence to teach monkeys..... Love the way you do it my man!!!... You have my vote!!!...I admire you for this
Thanks. Those diagrams made it easy to understand.
Thanks. Very well explained.
Great work sir. Thanks for the heads up. Well done. Very appreciated. ALL THE WAY!
thank you very much helped me a ton
Thank you for your time - Very good information to know and well presented.
Great video. Thanks!!!
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for video. Definitely a time saver. 👍🏼
Thanks for that big big help.
Thanks for your help.
Thank you for this video. My daughter and I have tried to install flat spline many times over the past 6 years and always gave up in frustration. Your instructions and diagrams clearly demonstrated where we were going wrong. It wasn't. easy but we were able to re screen the top of our patio enclosure with the flat spline. Thank you again.
...........I had the same problem. I had installed many new screens with round spine very easily with just a screw driver and razor knife. Then I tried to install this flat screen spline and spent many hours overall trying to get this flat screen spline (FSS) in correctly. It was very frustrating to me too. Between a lady employee at Lowes and many cryptic internet /RUclips info on FSS, I finally figured it out. The first time I did my FSS screen repair I ended up shaving off some of the FSS to make it fit. The screen eventually got loose again. The bag that I got the FSS in, didn't even have directions. All the RUclips videos I watched ignored describing the most important fact that the slot you put FSS has a deep side and a shallow side. I hope you saw my related RUclips video on how you use full strength dish soap before you put in the FSS to lubricate the FSS and let it slip into the slot easier (this only needs to be done on old doors and window that are pitted). I must thank both Home Depot and Lowes. Nylon/Vinyl/ plastic screen is much easier to install than the metal screen even thought they both look almost identicle.
........Thank you for your feed back......... Have a good day........!!!!
Thank you!!
Thanks for this video. It is really helpful. I enjoyed your drawings, too. Keep the stick man alive!
nice video well done thanks
Flat spline comes in 310 and 315, Two sizes.
me at 7 mins in : LETS FRICKIN GET ON WITH IT
Thanks!!! It's not that hard once you know how.
.......Note, as shown in the video above, Nylon/Vinyl/Plastic screen is easier to install than aluminum screen. I can't tell from my package if it is is Nylon, Vinyl or Plastic, they just don't say.
Stephen Fiore screen is made of FIBERGLASS. Not plastic, nylon.......or any other material. There is a product known as florida glass that is screen covered by plastic which is commonly used under the chair rail for pets, mud splash, or to obscure the view from wherever applied.
@@timmorris171 I just bought ‘nylon’ screen. I don’t like it. Flimsy
:you’re missing the money shot: we need to see the installation with the whole screen in place.
Flat splime is better than the round. Holds better in high winds. So does super screen.
Scott Brown completely incorrect!!!!!!!
. Flat spline comes in 1 size. 1 size DOESNT fit all since frame grooves now come in 3-4 different groove diam. and require different spline diameters. Youre not going to squeeze this flat spline into a .160 or .140 dia. groove. Only .175 & .190
A .210 groove this shit falls out if you sneeze on it.
Sorry but the rounded side of the spline goes inside not the flat side - it holds better.
You are doing it the hard way too. You don't push the spline in with the tool - it's a roller so you roll it in. Bunch of amateurs producing these videos and make this simple procedure much harder than it really is.
Don't even know why some idiot would invent flat spline! Round spline was just fine. Flat Spline is one size fits all and so what! Round spline makes for a more perfect job.
You fkd up so many things on this tutorial video, but its clear you're not all together upstairs so....
Worst thing is that you tried to remove that spline with a screwdriver OVER the screen instead of under it. You shredded the screen in doing so.
Wrong move.
Also flat spline only works on .175 & .190 diameter grooves. Not any others.
Keep practicing bud you'll get better.
