Inner tube car or bike cut and glued to length

Tried it once many years ago - total failure despite numerous
attempts. Ended up ordering a proper replacement.

I've never had any success either. They join fails fairly quickly or,
as the stiffness varies across the joint, it affects the
speed/stabilty of the turntable and may even produce an audible thump.

A slanted rather than a straight 90deg join might be better. Gives
more area for the glue and a less violent transition in the belts
flexabilty.
