I learned this tip or hint out of desperation. We live in an old house and it has old screens that have developed holes. I tried cotton balls and duct tape but they didn't stay on for long. This year when I put the screens in I grabbed my hot glue gun and filled the holes. Well summer's over and it's still holding!

Thank you so much for this idea. I am struggling with a "holey" screen porch.

My mother used to "sew" the holes in our screens. She would weave thread back and forth without cinching it tight and the thread covers the holes.
