Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Since it is pinched between stretched mesh and the roller it is held in place pretty good by the tension of the screen. I haven't had a chance to evaluate in long use, but as long as mesh is on it, I havent' seen it release. Yes there are other tapes that would really hold better. The masking tape folds nicely around the edge and has some softness that seems to help. Take 3/4", put on roller first and press down on area it meets roller with about 1/3 of the tape hanging over the channel. Then with a credit card and left hand you can press the tape up and under the lip of the channel. Avoid creases and keep smooth by helping guide the mesh with the free hand thumb while the other hand and credit card press it around and underneath the inside edge of the channel. You can also fold the mesh under and put a layer underneath to have a double layer of mesh on under the locking strip for a similar effect, only for fine mesh counts! Not advisable under 200 tpi. Of the two the tape is easier IMO>Al
