Sand Belt Joint Technique

[@RT-Ford]

I purchased a box of 1 x 42 inch sanding belts at an auction for a couple of dollars. Apparently, they were pretty old because every one of them began breaking at the seam when I tried to use them. I tried every glue I had attempting to repair them. Nothing worked. Finally, I stuck a 1 x 6 inch strip of duct tape across the seam on the back of the belt, laid it on a marble slab that I have on my work bench and used a roller to make sure the seal was good. It worked like a charm.

Yes ducting tape is good in function But probably it might be fail on high speed or exceeding the pressure of workpiece. Please let check and tell me, I would like to know that.

@@ReformationWorkshop So far it has worked for me but you made a good point. I don't use a lot of pressure when using my 1 inch belt sander. I have a larger disc sander that will 'take a licking and keep on ticking'. I'm putting new tips on cue sticks, so there's very little pressure needed.

[@ReformationWorkshop]

@@RT-FordYou're right Due to less surface area, less pressure will be required on sand belt.

Great idea. I'm going to try this. Thank you for showing us how to do it. I have many broken sanding belts to repair.

Nota: epoxy glue in 24 hours is ready but the more time the better. I use to put it in the sun light for about one hour at noon. It helps a lot to cure the epoxy. Other is to use clear epoxy glue, it is more flexible when dry.

[@ReformationWorkshop]

U r right bro 👍🏻
