I'm not seeing the OP (frequently happens with this hack/spitVistablows and
APN), so I'll add a comment here.

If JD could find a roll of 3" wide abrasive with a suitable backing, it's
not too difficult to make belts.
I've used a hard hone stone to knock off about 1/8" of the grit from the
angle-cut ends cut from roll stock, which then provides a thin backing
margin which can be overlapped without creating a hump.
Superglue or other adhesive that's not particularly sensitive to heat, can
be used to glue the overlap. Apply glue, compress with a clamp so the belt
is flat and straight (like one does when welding a bandsaw blade).

Whether this method will be suitable for the intended use depends upon the
application, but for working with wood it works fine IME.

I don't see the original either, problably on a domain that I've killed
do to either excessive spam or excessive loons.

However if someone needs 3x18 320 grit belts,
