Hey everybody,
My traction belt came apart at the seam, any suggestions on what to use to put it back together to make it last, what kind of glue or tape. The belt is not torn just came apart.

Thanks, Mike

I really don't think it will work but you could try a 2 part epoxy.

Epoxy might be too rigid to make the bend around the rollers really. Are you using sand paper or rubber belts?

Also LHR discontinued the sandpaper belts and no longer sells them. You can get them here.

A & H Abrasives -Casper Wy .. Phone is 1-800-831-6066.
http://customsandingbelts.com (http://customsandingbelts.com/)
The belts were 15-13AO120Y .. They cost $ 4.29 each

P.S. I just assumed sandpaper belts because I had never seen rubber separate but sandpaper do this from time to time.

You can still buy sandpaper belts at LHR's website. They no longer come with new machines.
