You could also use a hot razor blade, place the two ends oposite each other on the blade, apply inward pressure until the two ends are melted and remove the blade, keeping the 2 ends pressed together for 5min, or whatever your belting requires.

We purchased the minibutt welding unit... never had a weld or a cord break...
I am sure you can do the same by hand but the little clamp in that kit makes it easier to push the ends together properly...
You can purchase the clamp by itself and use your own heater and snippers to trim back to diameter.
I like the clamp... it is easy to use and costs about $80
You can certainly make your own...
Teams do this lots of ways... practice a little bit and you will be fine...
