We have had much success joining the urethane belting using a $15 Hot Knife "For Her" from Michael's Arts and Crafts. We fabricated a custom larger blade for it, and a jig to hold each end of the belt in a clamp, and slide the two ends together with the hot knife between. Haven't broken a single splice, and the results are indistinguishable from the expensive proper welding kits.
