    Default Screen Stretching Glue/Adhesive

    The stuff that glues the screen mesh to the (wooden) frame...

    What do you recommend and where do I get it?

    Any thoughts?

    I googled it. There's a hundred different methods for this and almost no user reviews.

    Back at ya, steve

    I've had pretty good luck with Gorilla Glue

    Kiwo is good, kind of industry standard, as they also specialize in screenable adhesives. there are a couple of systems/producers. Ask your local screenstretcher for what they use.

    CSS turned me on to Liquid Staple LS-300, manufactured by Frame Fast. I've used it to stretch four or so screens, and they have all held up pretty well. I did a lot of reading and concluded that this stuff was the least toxic of the bunch, just wish it was a bit easier to mix small quantities. The hardener isn't shown in the picture, but it is a two-part adhesive.

    That Kiwobond stuff looks pretty good, though.
