Your back and forth technique with the roller is causing you to cut the screen. A firm, slow steady roll is more ideal and will also cause the spline to stretch forward; do not pull pn the spline.
You can definetely stretch the spline to help with the roll. His problem was his technique he was trash. Had no idea what he was doing. Im a pro screener myself and this was painful to watch. Your suppose to pull the screen with the spline taunt then hit your good firm roll. Then repeat. Also using the metal roller didnt help with being that inexperienced. Hes as good as any random guy on there first day and there first screen
Michael C. Palermo he is not a pro like you. If it’s painful why watch it. He never claimed he was a professional. It’s for people who have no idea to repair a screen. Maybe people who know this business and claim they are pro than make a video and teach us. I hate when someone does not have class to comment gracefully with some tact. When you make a video if you do how would you like people commenting like you. Be kind man!!
Thanks, for the info - worked good no cut used plastic tool . Cutting the corners helped with the corner stress. - Good tips ! Did two screen in about an hour. Having a helper is plus (wifey).
When you first roll in the new screen, use the rounded(convex) side of the roller, then concave side at the end... you give yourself extra material, this will eliminate those "oops" cuts.
The spline gets cut after it is rolled in, metal corners are way better. You don’t leave loose screen in the middle, a “pro” can get the right tension on the mesh. Push harder with the roller and lean on other hand while pulling the mesh towards you to get this tension. I have been around professional screen makers for over 20 years and you are no pro. You are worse that somebody who has been trained properly for 1 day.
Yea im a pro screener myself and this was hard to watch. Especially for it to say the proper way to roll window screen. This was actually a video of exactly what you do not want to do.. I walk roofs and tackle 1500 sqft roofs a day alone. And for him to have that hard of a time with one petty window and have an assistant is just embarrassing...
You said to leave some extra screen in case you cut into the screen and have to pull out more to redo. You said if you do that, it would leave enough for a couple of mistakes. If you don’t make any unwanted cuts, won’t that leave too much screen within the frame and it will look too loose....?
Spread out over the entire area of the screen you wont notice it. If you think you can do it without mistakes go for it but i think one little wrinkle in the finished product is better then 2 or 3 attempt at the whole thing.
Tim Graham This is a how to, a way to teach unskilled uniformed people like you the proper way to rescreen a window. What exactly did you have a problem with.
Jacob M. Whitaker first of all, you display how uninformed and unskilled you are! You displayed how sloppy to do it in the least. The most you displayed carelessness and unprofessionalism with your handling and your attitude. It's that simple!
Tim Graham ok Tim point out some things so I can explain them simply to you don't just make blanket statements about my video give me some points so we can discuss them. As far as uninformed or unqualified I don't think there's a class you can take to get certified as a window re-screener. Again you seem to be missing the point of the video it's how to with tips and tricks for people who don't do this all the time, like for example making the wrinkle in the screen so you can make a mistake and not have to start over. Also if you dont like the way I make my videos you can make your own and post the link in the comments if I think it's good I will post a link in the description.
JAked Again you are doing a good job. Don’t listen to him. He is miserable and angry at something. I am going to fix my window screen two of them tomorrow. The problem I had last time was the spline or rubber was hard to roll over screen. I think the guy at the store gave me a thicker spline and was hard to roll even for my son. It was not going easily in the groove. Tomorrow should I just take the frame and they can see the thickness of spline to use and size of mesh. Also maybe I should spray oil in the frame where mesh goes in. Also the roller has two sides and have to know which side or roller to use. I need one for pets cause I have two cats and a dog also scratches when window open. You absolutely did not do anything wrong and acted professionally. It’s easy for people to hide behind their keyboard and insult and criticize other people on RUclips. I want to do a video on nails but need a good camera first. He’s probably a bully. 👏🏻👍🏻
I had to make 33 new frames, and my wife did the screens. For 14 unit rentals. She had no experience, but she did an awesome job...didn't cut one screen when putting the spline. .now shes working on 20 more for another property...
I used a two sided metal one that was large on one side and small on the other. I would recommend buying a small one with a plastic head, it will work almost as well as a large one and with a plastic head it will be a lot harder to damage the screen.
Oh brother. No... Don't listed to JAked. One (the smooth one) is to press the screen in to the channel (which may be omitted depending on technique/preference) and the concave one is designed to press in the SPLINE (not rubber) in.
don't lie to the poor guy you obviously have literally no idea what you are talking about. I'm honestly surprised you were able to even comment on this video
Jacob- I agree. I have never re-screened and I followed this and I now have 3 perfectly re-screened frames. I cut the extra screen off a bit differently, but this instructional video worked for me!
I used an x-acto knife rested on the frame with the blade pointed our and just ran the it along the frame- no risk of cutting any screen. I did cut the screen on my first one and that is why I switched. I will also say that I took some double sided tape and slipped it between the screen and the frame on the small cut I made. I think your instructions are excellent!
You are using the wrong side of your roller! I use clothes pins to clip the screen along the edges..now, run the round side of your spline roller into the groove, pushing your screen into the groove..making sure your screen hole align up with the inside of your frame. Now take the Concave side and insert the tip end of spline in the corner and line up your spline to the opposite corner...now rollthe spline into your groove, when you get to a corner, tuck and round and start again, making sure your spline is in a line with the grove and roll it in. When you come to the end. Pull just a bit and cut the spline so it will fit next to the beginning. If it is a little short..fine if more than 1/2 in cut a a bit of spline and insert and roll in place. Slowly go around once again to make sure the spline is inset in the grove. Ise a box knife an d carefully let the spline glide the box cutter along the edge .trim up corners.. Yes, making sure you installed the screen lift plates
I love the tip of inserting the screen into the groves before the spline instead of doing both at once. I just started a job at Ace hardware and my coworkers clearly don't know what they're doing so I'm not being taught very well. I'm going to try this method tomorrow.
Lmfao no clue at all . what a trash can. And the title says the proper way to roll a window screen. Seriously . This video is exactly what you do not want to do!!!

I will try to do it with Woodprix plans.
I hope it went well

good tip
If you would take your time with the spline roller, you could avoid slicing the screen.
It's true I have a heavy hand and hit it hard and fast
The spline gets cut after it is rolled in, metal corners are way better. You don’t leave loose screen in the middle, a “pro” can get the right tension on the mesh. Push harder with the roller and lean on other hand while pulling the mesh towards you to get this tension. I have been around professional screen makers for over 20 years and you are no pro.

The proper way "wack, bang, scratch oops"
"Leave a little bit in case i fu it up"
I think it is funny
You said to leave some extra screen in case you cut into the screen and have to pull out more to redo. You said if you do that, it would leave enough for a couple of mistakes. If you don’t make any unwanted cuts, won’t that leave too much screen within the frame and it will look too loose....?

The "rubber" is called the spline.
Wow! The critics were in force on this video.
They always are the brightest stars attract the most hate
this was painful to watch... especially from someone claiming to be a pro... there was nothing proper about what did

Use a vinyl roller. You won't cut the screen.

Oh and the video was no help...that back and forth method will cut the screen 99 % of the time.. .
It wasn't a problem for me
I had to make 33 new frames, and my wife did the screens. For 14 unit rentals. She had no experience, but she did an awesome job...didn't cut one screen when putting the spline. .now shes working on 20 more for another property...
You're welcome I do what I can to teach the less fortunate like you and your wife. Keep at it buddy you just might make something of yourself yet.
annoying talking , hard to watch .
What size spleen do you typically carry have on hand? Do you recommend a particular spline tool? Thanks
I used a two sided metal one that was large on one side and small on the other. I would recommend buying a small one with a plastic head, it will work almost as well as a large one and with a plastic head it will be a lot harder to damage the screen.
sorry, that was a sloopy job, I also noticed the concaved roller sliced the screen in a couple spots.
If it was a sloppy job why did it come out so perfectly? Also the proper term for the tool is a screen spline
I build screens for a living. These guys put on a clinic on how not to do it. 😅
So make a better video and post the link here so we can see how it's done
You don't know this but America is the put up or shut up country so...
My roller has 2 wheels, why are they different?
Ones for a big channel ones for a thin channel
@@JAkedAgain ahhhhhh yes...that explains it
Oh brother. No... Don't listed to JAked. One (the smooth one) is to press the screen in to the channel (which may be omitted depending on technique/preference) and the concave one is designed to press in the SPLINE (not rubber) in.
don't lie to the poor guy you obviously have literally no idea what you are talking about. I'm honestly surprised you were able to even comment on this video
You's guy's are wasters! Why didn't you turn the frame 90 degrees?
Live and learn
Unbelievable. This should be the top 10 how not to videos.
Lol what would you have done differently
I noticed you couldn't even say one thing you would do differently. Pathetic
"A little extra to work with " 5x 😄
good idea
Why wouldn't you use the old screen as a template to cut the new screen?
No need
I haven't attempted this yet but I think I'll do it differently than this joker.
lol i bet you haven't done a lot of things in years. The gym, a women, taken the stairs, had someone tell you they love you.
Hack
Jacob- I agree. I have never re-screened and I followed this and I now have 3 perfectly re-screened frames. I cut the extra screen off a bit differently, but this instructional video worked for me!
Liz Richey thanks for the positive comment if you don't mind telling me how did you end up cutting the screen differently.
I used an x-acto knife rested on the frame with the blade pointed our and just ran the it along the frame- no risk of cutting any screen. I did cut the screen on my first one and that is why I switched. I will also say that I took some double sided tape and slipped it between the screen and the frame on the small cut I made.

Rough as guts I’d hate to get you lot replacing mine haha
Ya weak people are like that
But hey if you can't take it well...

good advice
it's good advice
Horrible!...metal piece, rubber, roller he has no clue...
Lmfao no clue at all . what a trash can.
And the title says the proper way to roll a window screen.
Seriously .
This video is exactly what you do not want to do!!!
I have to work with the tools I was given and incase you didn't notice I completed it perfectly
@@michaelc.palermo2862 ok Mike why don't you link your video of you properly rescreening a window and i will post it in the description
You should be wearing a microphone. Your voice fades in and out.
This is teaching how to make all those mistakes you want to avoid, not professional one bit
Name a few of the things you take issue with
Abdulaziz
Why not show mistakes? Nothing unprofessional about it.
@@JAkedAgain
Apparently Abdulaziz isn't responding. Hmm...
ya losers tend to shut down when pressed even a little bit
I must have missed it what exactly do you take issue with?
Hahaha, I wouldn't actually call that proper, but in the end you got a new screen so all is well. I think you still have a few tricks to learn.
It's proper only by the definition of the word.
What a bad demo

Lol ok boomer how about you link your how to video here and I'll add the link in the description
I noticed you were incapable of producing your own video of you doing it better
I can hardly watch.
lol then turn away boomer i work like i live hard and fast. deal with it it's better to burn out than fade away
You don’t know what your doing
I knew from the first sentence this was a horrible video!
Lol ok boomer how about you share a link to your how to rescreen a window here and I'll link it in the description
@@JAkedAgain The Concord Carpenter 5 easy steps told me in 4 minutes
lol ok boomer lets see your video show me how you do it better
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAaaaaaa now thats funny lololololololol
thanks boomer it's heartwarming that someone of your advanced years getting my humor. Talk about cross generational
man you need to go to the school and learn a little bit and then make a RUclips video.
Please make a RUclips video showing how to do it better and link it here if it's good I'll link it in the description.
