TRY A BAR OF HAND SOAP RUBBED ON THE EDGE OF THE BELT THAT TOUCHES. USED TO
WORK WELL ON THE OLD CAR FANBELTS.

Hi Jim,

That sounds a goodun .. I wanted to make sure I didn't affect the
plastics or belt etc so soap should be pretty safe shouldn't it?

I suprised they used that trick on fanbelts though (if we are talking
about std 'V' belts here) as I thought they worked via friction on the
sides and the soap might make them slip (wouldn't it?).

All the best ..
