Anyone ever patch a screen door?
Is it okay to use glue rather than trying to weave it in?

8. Try the glue, see how it works.
It's your door, have a good time with it.
Live free or not.

9. ***update***
thank you Indiana Jones :hi:

I just bought the little roller tool and some pet-screen (hopefully will prevent a repeat of the vertical paw swipe) and we now have an intact screen door :bounce:
