Pretty much what the title says. I tried a hot glue gun and the mesh keeps popping off in parts. Would some kind of caulk work better? Appreciate the advice.
personally i tried both ways for my rodent and roach bins.. it seemed hot glue worked better. but it seems some brands of silicone are better then others on wide set screen [i used with 1/2in] as apposed to screen door style screen, but eventually they all get pulled apart by the force of the metal trying to pull away to the way it wants. hot glue is harder once set. maybe even try a contact cement, i cannot vouch for that however. also it appeared as tho a rough surface helped the hot glue for me as apposed to the flat sterilite top but may have just been my mind playing tricks on me tho gl bobPretty much what the title says.
