I use Kleenex. The team uses Allen wrenches. I TiVo the game when I'm at robotics.

We keep our drinks cool in the Frigidaire. And our drinks are always ko-cola.

We move piles of dirt around with our Bobcat ( skid-steer )

Hey, pass me a Q-tip.


To answer your question, round belts, solid core. We heat weld them together.
We took an aluminum plate that we heat with a hot air gun on one side and we press the two ends together on the other side of the plate. The students are skilled in watching the face of the cord applied to the plate heat up and deciding when to then put the ends together for the weld.
