thats great after you stretch the mesh wat do u use to get the screen and the frame to stick?? glue?? staples?

[kurniawandennis]

i use a really strong glue i think its Instant bonding glue the label is in chinese so i dont understand. any strong glue should work.. i use a toothbrush to apply. its yellow and thick and really smelly. have you heard of uhu? i think it should work.

I like it. I make all my screen printing tools. I just don't see the need to spend all that money when you can build it yourself.

Great idea! You just saved me $365 plus shipping from Canada because I was about to by a screen stretcher.
