Re: Welding Urethane Belts
We have heated a strip of sheet metal (held with Vice Grips) with a propane or MAPP gas torch and pressed the ends of the belt onto each side of the sheet metal and then pulled the sheet metal away letting the ends touch and fuse together. Took several tries to get the heat timing right but worked well.
