Re: How can you make a belt out of tubing?

We have used polycord to make belts in the past two years and they worked very well for us. What we did to join them together was to take a soldering iron with a large flat tip and melt the two ends of the cord. Once they were molten we slid them off the tip and together until they hardened together. We then sanded off the excess material around the joint.
Hope this helps a little.
