Default Quick fixes.

If you have a torn screen you can either sew it if its fabric or use clear nail polish. Using the nail polish you put it on in layers and let each dry. Viola! Fixed and no one will know the difference.

Finger nail polish can be used for many quick repairs. Got a scuff on a shoe try a dab of polish of the same color.

Clear polish is a great way to seal just about anything. I use it when we go to the beach and the kids get chiggers. Pop a drop on the spots and they are gone in no time.

Got any ideas to share I would love to hear them. We all have little tricks we use but we don't always remember them till we have to use them again.

I took care of my screen problems in strategic areas by replacing the existing screens with animal proof screens.

In other words, my cats can make a shambles of the screens they can reach so no more worrying about repairing or replacing damaged screens. And the price is affordable to make this replacement. I got my screening at Lowes.

Tell me about it, my cats think they need to pull the sides back and walk on in. We ended up leaving ours up a few inches.
