I know this is a little late to comment, given the date of the upload, (but I just came across your video) and I'm just going to make a small suggestion. When I first saw this wonderful material being used, it was at the Kodak Processing Lab, in the engineering and maintenance department here in Sydney, Australia way back in the '70s. The way they joined the ends was to put an old piece of hacksaw blade in a vice, heat it up with a blowtorch and place the ends of the round belting on either side of the blade and slide it up, off the top of the blade to get both ends to meet, thus welding them together. The use of the soldering iron is also a very good idea you used for finishing the job. Great video. Thanks. :)

I use a solder iron to apply heat. My first few attempts didn't work out, the belt joined but would not last long. So I figured, the PU might have been degrading at such temperature. Next attempt, prepare the belt, then plug in the solder iron from room temperature. At some point, the solder iron is just hot enough to melt the belt, I hold on a few more seconds then butt join the two ends. The PU would not be overheated. The strength of the belt is better.

It worked for me! I just used a candle and mashed the ends together. Despite not getting it together very quickly or accurately, it makes a VERY strong splice. I found that subtracting 10% makes the belt pretty tight. If you don't want an especially tight fit, you may want to err a little on the long side.

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know.

Read this somewhere else, but nail clippers will do a tidy job of removing excess material at the welded joint.

Good video, mate. I am just getting into making KZfaq videos any help and advice you could give me with what you use to make videos and editing them. I would like to thank you for pointing out these belts stretch 10%, which I didn't know and have helped me with measurements. Thanks David

I use Davinci Resolve to edit. A little bit of a learning curve but it does a great job and it's free.

Nice video... Consider this for ur paint can shaker..a old saws all blade, empty plastic peanut container, rivet blade to plastic container, put paint can in plastic container, turn on saws all or reciprocating saw... mixes up in about 1 minute... medium speed works the best.👍🙏

I heated the belt with a Styrocutter, works fine.

Good result. I think I'd use the razor blade to carefully trim the flash away though.
@SoatMon4 жыл бұрын
I felt the same way but was too lazy to do it. I happened to be looking at it yesterday and the flashing is still there. I thought it would have worn down. Anyway it doesn't cause any problems, just unsightly. Thanks for the comment.

Just and observation here.. Why would you not do the math FIRST and THEN CUT 13.5” instead of cutting 15” then throwing away 10% ??
@SoatMon4 жыл бұрын
But if I cut13.5 and it won't fit I have to throw away 100% and start again...
