So I did my second small run of decks this morning. When I was done washing out my screen, I droped the hose on it. It made a small 2 inch tear, but not where any printing will be done. It isnt in the way of a pass or anything but i am worried about the tension of the screen now. Plus the rip could increase when washing out the screen, any tips of successfully bonding this rip would be much appreciated. I was thinking good old duct tape would probably do the trick but didnt want to do anything yet.

duxt tape might work for the beginning.however your supplier has a very special tape for that kind of mishaps.it is sort of an aluminium like tape,which gets stuck to both sides of the mesh.ask him...

In my experience, the tear will just continue to get bigger and bigger until the screen is useless. You may have to look into re-stretching your screen.

Cool, Thanks. I was told to try clear fingernail polish. Tip came from a girl in which they say it works on pantyhoes. I think duct tape on the underside, nail polish on the print side, and restretch the screen. I think that should atleast get me through the next 35 decks.

i've had good luck with using a scrap of mesh and a shitload of super glue. use the piece of mesh like a patch and coat the area with the glue. that area of the screen will not be useable but it should stop it from ripping any more.
