Re: We fixed our roller, Let us know what you think!

The "belting" is a material called PolyCord. That would be a McMasterCarr Special. We cut the cord and welded it to 8% less length than the actual length desired. Then, we carefull stretched it over the rollers. That seam we melted together is supposed to be just as strong as the original material.
