I picked up a large box of belts. They are new old stock. The belt
abrasive and
fabric are fine. When you run a belt it snaps apart at the taped
joint after a few
pressured revolutions.

Which is why you got them cheap. You did get them cheap, right? ;-)


The clear tape simply lets loose. We tried using standard plastic
packing tape which
is pretty strong stuff but that experiment did not test out. Just
for the sake of having
it handy, Gorilla duct tape went on and failed next.

Does anyone have a suggested tape or other fix so these belts are
usable?

Look for something using Heat and Pressure. Something you could use
a household iron on. Google 'heat seal tape'

Oh yeah. "If you want it, take it" was the guff I had to listen to. I
even
was forced to lug the carton away.

I thought there might be heat involved in the fabrication process and
thank you for further disposing the notion to action. I'll see what
comes
up.
