A short section of 1 inch aluminum angle makes a perfect alignment tool. You place the two ends of melted belt in the Vee of the angle. If you're using the hot knife method of melting the belt, make a cut most of the way through the angle in it's centre big enough for the knife to fit through. We just use a gas cooktop, or in the field a butane soldering torch flame to melt the belt directly.
