Will it block the view?The patch is visible up close, but the charcoal mesh is designed to blend with common dark window and door screens better than solid tape. What should I not use it for?Do not use it for broken screen frames, very large tears, loose mesh, or surfaces that are wet, oily, dusty, or peeling.
