Conveyor Belt Bonanza

We have used the Conveyor Belt/Timing Belt material for a couple of years. For 2002, we made a 1" wide by .125 thick Aluminum ring that attached to the Skyway wheels. We then used an adhesive called K-1018. Also known as Elephant Snot. Stuff works really well for holding automotive weatherstrip or any other rubbery material. The key is glueing the tread to the Aluminum. It doesn't seem to adhere to well to the plastic rim.
