Screen frame has a hole how can I fix this?
« on: October 17, 2018, 04:10:47 PM »
I just got some new screens direct from Murakami, and I have 1 that has a hole in the weld area, and it takes on a lot of water when we put it in the washout booth.

What is a good way to fix this? Besides the obvious rewelding of the screen?

Any help is appreciated.

A small hole you can plug with silicone or epoxy glue.

you can also use Gorilla Super Glue.  It's a gel glue that almost has a little silicone feel to it.  I keep it around for nicks in the mesh(outside the print area).
