My belts shrink as I age.
Beer & pizza seem to do that to me.

But seriously folks........
Every piece of leather I have owned has shrunk down when wetted and dried.

A wet belt on steel pullys sounds...........bad, so, I would ponder a
drying rack just smaller than the current belt.

just a thought.

when wetted. That sounds like exactly the kind of idea I'm looking
for. I'll give it a try.

Thanks again! -- Terry
