Try to roll the screening in first without the spline. Then, if it has held
its shape, add the spline afterward.
I don't know about polyester, but this works with fiber glass and aluminum.

I got a vinyl coated polyester patio door screen, which is strong enough to
be
pet-stab proof, but it's very hard to roll/spline into the existing door
frame.

The included roller tool got nowhere. I found the best substitute was
rolling the round
end of a 12" crescent wrench over the spline material, giving a lot of
working
leverage, but it was slow work. Better ideas?

The material to be pressed in is sort of asterisk-shaped in cross-section.
