Ira Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 FROG SCREEN! I bought this Splatter Screen at the Dollar Store. It makes Great Screen for Models. I cut a piece a little larger than the opening. Then I fit it in place and pushed the screen into the opening a little and then I flattened the screen down around the opening. Next I put some Zap-A-Gap around the edges to hold it in place. I also sprinkled some baking powder over the wet glue to hold the screen better. More Coming...
