Default How do I to stretch/attach new mesh on wood frame?

I have some old wood frames that i've had since high school, and some of them have ripped at the frame. i would like to keep them and apply new mesh. I've never done this before. Can someone please give me a standard but economical procedure to do this. I've read about gum tape and staple guns. anything else? I use 110 mesh for the most part.

Get it done for you.
Screens are stretched by a piece of kit with a lot of clamps holding the mesh on four sides, then holding it on to a gluey mesh.
You can do it manually but you're likely to get worse results on the shirt.
