I picked up a large box of belts. They are new old stock. The belt abrasive and fabric are fine. When you run a belt it snaps apart at the taped joint after a few pressured revolutions.
The clear tape simply lets loose. We tried using standard plastic packing tape which is pretty strong stuff but that experiment did not test out. Just for the sake of having it handy, Gorilla duct tape went on and failed next.
Does anyone have a suggested tape or other fix so these belts are usable?
