Screen Repair Tape

1

Isn't it amazing how insects find the one little hole in a screen and just pour inside?

From the website:

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Fiberglass screen material comes on a handy roll — just cut to the length you need and press it in place on any fiberglass screen.

Blends in to virtually disguise the repair.

Fixes tears along frames, too.

Each roll is 2"W x 15'L.

Black or Gray.,

Drawstring Threader

Sdzfxg

Annoying, isn't it, when not one but both ends of a drawstring disappear into the tunnel of lost?

Why live with hidden drawstrings when someone has spent years of their life working out a solution, finally triumphantly bringing it forth from the drawstring skunkworks.

From the website:

••••••••••••••••••••••

Easily recover lost drawstrings.

Don't give up on athletic pants, jackets, and hoodies just because the drawstring comes out.

Feed this flexible threader through the garment and re-thread the drawstring.

Set includes one regular size and one mini (for smaller garment openings).

Plastic.

••••••••••••••••••••••

Two for $9.99.
