My first guess would be to use pantyhose maybe over a wire hanger to 'emulate' a net, but am not sure if this is really practical or not. Good luck. Do keep us posted.
LOL, I lost my my net, and thats exactly what I did, it worked!
still havent found the net, I am forever losing things, guess I will put the net in with where I keep the food container, when i find the net.
