Hey all! Just got my first screen, a new (for me) silver screen, and all looked great! That's, of course, when things went south. While setting it up, it slipped, whacked down and got two small holes. Is there anything out there to patch this, or anything?

You could try getting a piece of soft PVC material to glue behind the holes and use a PVC glue like PAC, if it's available in the colonies - or better still use a piece of self adhesive vinyl screen tape. EBay will probably be your friend for that.
Best of luck Chris. -
Chris,
Can the fabric on both sides of the tear still meet if you taped it from behind? If so, there's a good chance you wouldn't notice it while projecting.Comment

So it's looking like the best fix might be to use vinyl tape on the back, and sort of rub it back into place. It definitely won't fully fix the hole, but it'll look way better than it is now, I'm sure. I figured that's the route I would go if there wasn't such thing as patching. And it's starting to look like that's the case. One of the holes (not pictured) should completely disappear with the tape method. And like I said the other one will at least look better than it is now.
Of course, if anyone does know of a way to patch, let me know. But at this rate I'll purchase the vinyl tape in a day or so. I might even upload a photo afterwards, for any future person who wants to see the results of the endeavor.
Thanks Doug & Alan!Comment
