1x42 sanding belts. i have some that are old & are coming apart where they are spliced. does anyone know what type of adhesive is used on them & where to get it. i thought about using
super glue but i didn't know how to clamp it without sticking to my clamp. any suggestions?
thanks termite

I want to see the answer to that, I have some 6" x 48" that are very old and the same thing is happening.  Have not thrown them out yet.

I am thinking Contact Cement. It can be use on fabrics and seems to be flexible. I know it was once used to glue shoes together. You will have to make sure you get the ends aligned the first time because there won't be a second chance.

I would try to repair them with almost any glue at hand. You might consider making a "sandwich" with two pieces of wood wrapped with wax paper to clamp the joint between so that the glue doesn't stick the sanding belt to the wood.
And you may have to experiment with different glues until you find the answer.
Just my two cent worth

Hi GUYS, I DON'T REPLY OFTEN BUT I KNOW THE ANSER TO THIS PROBLEM,ROG IS RIGHT YOU CLAMP BETWEEN TWO BOARDS WITH A PEICE OF FABRIC ON THE BACK SIDE [ NOT COTTEN ]AND PVA GLUE WILL DO,COVER WITH WAX PAPER SO THAT IT WON'T STICK TO CLAMP.LEAVE OVERNIGHT. GOOD LUCK,

What is PVA glue?

[Russ C]

To start with, PVA stands for Polyvinyl acetates. So don't get all bent out of shape trying to find some super-special version of it. It's just white glue. (It comes in yellow as well, referred to as Carpenter's Glue.) I still think Contact Cement, it is also used to bond Formica to counter tops.
