Buy one over sized roller frame and stretch mesh on it then glue it to the wooden frame, dry it and cut it from the frame.

thats a pretty good idea.... dont you waste a lot of mesh that way?

Doesn't waste too much if your retensionable screen isn't too much larger than your fixed screen. I used to do it until I just bit the bullet and bought all retensionables for my clamshells.

Yeah I am so lazy. I just order from Mel-Ray all stretched and ready to go.
They are pretty good about standing behind their products.

I still have screens I bought in 04 that have never been re-stretched but print like a charm even after a few hundred jobs
