Rescreen old or buy new

Post by Smashing Apparel »

Was wondering on your thoughts about re-screening frames. I have 8 that are torn and not usable. With the cost to buy new at 22 bucks is it worthwhile to re-screen or just scrap the aluminum

If you find a quality place that re-screens then it's worth doing that. If you have to ship them to do so then wait until you have several that you can send in at once. Not all places that re-screen do a good job though so be sure to find one that does.
