Our '76 Eleganza came sans window screens and I'd like to try making them. The rounded corners are the tricky part.

Has anyone made new screens/frames, and how did you tackle the corners?

I'm considering a couple of ideas...

- conduit bender?
- heat and bend?
- cut into the frame at the bend so it curves more easily?
- pack the spline channel with something so it doesn't collapse.. suggestions?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
