A screening implement used in repairing or mounting screens comprising a substantially planar substrate having on at least one side a coating of an adhesive having a peel force exceeding 50 grams/cm width as determined in the 180 degree peel adhesion test, a low water sensitivity thereby being suitable for weather or marine exposures, a high thermal stability over a temperature range from -60 to +60 degrees C., and means for creating a bond between said adhesive and a screen, said bond having a durability of not less than 6 months. A method for repairing defective screens whereby a screening implement as described above is affixed to replace a defective section of a screen removed from the screen. The screening implement may be covered by a releasable liner sheet. In use the releasable liner sheet is removed from the screening implement and the screening implement is affixed to a screen by the exposed adhesive. The adhesive screening implement can be made from a continuous strip and custom cut just before application, or can be precut to conform to a variety of designs and sizes.
