How can I attach the screen to the frame? I have mesh, and I've build a nice frame, but I don't want to have to staple the mesh, I'd like to glue it. Does anyone have a recommendation for the type of glue to attach screen mesh to a wooden frame?
Thanks

ayos j ako naman nag rurush ngayon nang mga basketball uniformes pang intrams .wla akong mga naka scedule na project kaya lang pag dumarating laging rush masakit sa ulo .may isa rin akong pulitikong suki halos lahat ng project ko dun nanggagaling. Ilan ang platens mo j ? sakin 120 pcs na para pag nagkasabaysabay ang project di ko na ipasa sa ibang printer minsan kasi nasulot yung isang costomer ko kaka outsource ko ng printing.
2 units ang table ko sir, 16 platens and 14 platens, so 30 un nk-install.
meron akong extra 50 platens detached na manipis, patong lang kung kinakailangan pero hindi ko masyado itong ginagamit kasi manageable naman lahat ng projects.
Kapag white un shirt o light colored fabric, wet-on-wet ang process ko. esp pag bulk un project.
Kapag namn dark colored un shirt, maintain ko nalang sa 30 platens para maiwasan ink build-up sa ilalim nun screen.
i personally would send them to someone with proper equipment. i have a screen stretcher and its the only way you will get proper tension. as far as attachment, contact whoever you get supplies through the will most likely have the proper glue.

in our metod of streching we also get proper tention without the use of any kind of expensive equipment you just got to learn right method and technique. the video i posted is just one of the many ways of streching

I have to disagree with you here. I have a screen stretcher and I also built the one in the video I posted which allows me to do several screens at once. I place the tension meter on both and they are both within range.
Before I purchased a screen stretcher, I use to do it buy hand, the shirt shop up the street from me did not believe I could get the screen taught enough by hand so I took one to him and he placed his tension meter on it and he was surprised it was well within range.
As for the glue, sure you can buy what they recommend but contact cement works just as well and is cheaper.
I have used contact cement and on the last screens I re-meshed I used gorilla glue.

Gorilla glue worked too?
I was afraid something like this might melt the screen. good to hear I'll give it a shot!
Yes the cement from my supply company is outrageous.. we're trying to save money around here.
I'm also screening a frame that is 4'x5' so its a bit large. but I have the tension method down to get it tight enough i just now have to attach it in a more efficient way.
The last 6 frames I re-meshed were done with gorilla glue. A local screen printer told me that this works so since I was out of cement glue and had gorilla glue in the garage I used it and they are holding up fine. It has been about 3 months and I don't no how many re-claimings and it is still holding.
Does anyone screen their own frames? 
. Do we actually find the values?
