- Spline is the rubber or plastic thick cord that you force into the channel around window screens and screen doors. Normally you can just pull and it comes out in one satisfying rip. However if old and rotten it is ver difficult to remove. This how-to video showed specialized techniques to remove old, damaged spine
I gave up after an hour. Will try your technique. Thanks, screen man.
❤ Thank you!!!! We really need the money this saved us from needing a professional cause I was about to give up!
Your razor blade tip saved my ass; cutting it into pieces/ strips and driving a flat head thru to push them out worked like a charm. I got 2 more windows to do but it's nighttime now so ima leave them for the weekend cuz dam they're freaking in there hard
I have been struggling with an old screen all afternoon and was so relieved to see that I am not the only one struggling to get this spline out. All the other videos I watched make it look so easy! Love the razor knife idea - I am struggling with screen stuck in the groove even after the spline is out!
I have some garage door screens to replace and this morning I could not remove much of the old, very brittle spine that was in the tracks. I will next try to spit the old spine and dig it out the way you showed. Thank you!
My dog went through a screen door in a home I was visiting so here I am.
I was having trouble with the spline , just like shown above.
However, when I found the initial area-(top left ) where it was started , I was able to get a good grasp of it and it come out easy- praise the LORD!
I am glad it went that way. My arthritis is bad today and I pulled my back muscle. God was gracious .
Thanks for the video and inspiring me to pray. I didn’t think I could have taken hours to chisel it out. Not today.
You helped me and I am grateful.
Thank you. Very helpful.
Great video! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the tips! Glad to know I am not the only one struggling at least. Unfortunately the spline I am fighting with is installed on the top of a pool enclosure roof so I can't get it down and work comfortably in a chair 😆😆 *sigh* ...Oh and some parts of it have also been sealed with rubber cement by the previous homeowners so, yayyyy 🤦♀️
Damn this is still as much of a pain in the ass as I thought it would be after starting on it. Thanks for the tips though.
Thanks!
I guess , at the end of the day, there is no easy way to get that old Spline out....
Buy the tool from hardware store has a curve like the tool you made but its a razor blade. Cut along the seam several times to break the pressure, straight up and down, pry out with electronics screwdriver
Thanks for the info. I have to do our patio door, and the spline has hardened. If I remember, I will come back soon and let you know how it went. :)
Please do!
Do you have anything that doesn't include making a custom pick??
