Porthole Screens

Today is a chore day; Ed on the engine



Gently pop out rivets on hoop.

me on porthole screens.  We needed porthole screens that required few tools and components.  Let me tell you Capt'n Ed surely thinks outside the box!  He found a craft store and brought home a wooden embroidery hoop.  After dinking around with it, this is what he came up with:



Insert in porthole for sizing.
Mark. Leave a small gap for easy
insertion. Trim. Re-insert into porthole
 and secure the two ends with duct tape.



Reinforce duct tape on either side.



Add bonding agent all the way around.



Lay on screen.



Let dry.



Trim excess.  Leave a bit of
 overhang for those oh so
small gaps.



Ta-daa.
