Trimming the Screen

Did you use a single edge razor blade to trim away the excess?

I took a piece of old spline - that was degraded some and didn't hold tight (white, smooth). ACE gave me the smallest spline they had - grey and ribbed. It worked perfect. Nice tight screens!!! I really wanted screen that is No-see-um proof but I heard that the stuff sold as such is really very tight and it too limits sunlight. ?????

Good luck. It took me about 2 hrs to do the full trailer - well, except the door. I ran out of spline.....
