To repair a small tear in a window screen, try using an adhesive like nail polish. First, brush clear nail polish directly over both ends of the tear in the window screen. Wait several hours for the nail polish to dry or use a hairdryer to speed up the process. If the tear is slightly larger, you can use a patch of old screen material to repair it. First, trim the tear into a neat square or rectangle so it's easier to repair. Cut a piece of old screen material that is at least 1 inch larger than the tear. Use a pair of pliers to bend each unraveled end around the perimeter of the patch at a 90-degree angle. Weave the unraveled ends of the patch into the tear in the screen and then apply a clear adhesive around the edge to hold it in place.
