Right now, I'm not machining anything. I have to replace the belt on
my machine. Jim Rozen gave me some belt material but now I have to
decide how to join it. Do you have any glue recommendations? I can
make a clean scarf with no problem.
Wasn't there a recent thread about joining flat belts?
Anyway, we used to use hot animal glue - hoof and hide - to join flat
leather belts. The length of the scarf is covered (I think) in the
Machinery's Handbook but is several inches.
Yeah, but there's got to be something better now.
I wonder how that polyurethane gorilla glue, or similar, would work?

I use that stuff for a variety of things, including gluing my son's
soccer shoes back together, and it's true that it's somewhat flexible
and has great adhesion.
I just don't think it's flexible *enough*. Something like Pliobond or
Shoe Goo would be more flexible. But I don't know if they have enough
sheer strength.
I'll probably wind up calling some adhesives expert. Cripes, I used to
write long articles about adhesive assembly, but the adhesives I know
about are almost as old as hide glue.
