joining plastic drive belts
Hi all
hoping someone will know the answer... I have bought some reddish/orange hollow drive belting which is intended to be joined 'in situ' with a small brass joiner. However, when i got it the dealer was in the process of moving, and didnt have the joiners to hand. ( moved already..). However, the salesguy said that it was possible to join by melting the ends together with eg, a soldering iron, and in fact this was a stronger join. After numerous attempts, i give up at least until i get advice from a higher authority ( you guys!). I can melt the ends easily enough but it just won't weld together. Anyone actually done it? How? thanks russ |
