Step 1: Measure and Cut the Edging Strip* Measure the length of the screen frame's back edge.
* Cut the edging strip to the measured length using a mitre saw or chop saw. Ensure that the cuts are straight and clean.

Step 2: Apply Wood Glue* Apply a thin, even layer of wood glue to the back edge of the screen frame.

Step 3: Position the Edging Strip* Place the cut edging strip onto the glued edge of the screen frame.

Step 5: Remove Clamps and Trim Excess* Once the glue has dried, remove the clamps.
* Use a sharp knife or utility blade to trim any excess edging strip that may be protruding from the edges of the frame.

Step 6: Sand and Finish* Sand the edges of the edging strip smooth using sandpaper or a sanding block.
* Round off any sharp corners for a refined look.
* Apply paint, stain, or a clear finish to match the rest of the screen.

Tips for Perfect Edging* Use high-quality edging strips designed for screen frames.
