Gary, I had the exact same screen on my 41' '87 Hershine and had to replace
some of the screens several times. I did as I think you were suggesting. Cut
the old screen out completely and glue a new one to the inside of the frame. I
used grey fiberglass screens, and glued them down with some epoxy liquid. The
type that comes in a syringe with a mixing tip is especially helpful. To get a
nice tight job, support the screen with a note pad of the proper thickness,
and put some release paper over the epoxy and press it out until it hardens.
