Best of luck
Actually, you can just melt the ends with a butane lighter or a heat gun and stick them together in a piece of angle to bond them. You can trim off the excess urethane around the bond afterwards. We have 8 of these belts on our robot, each with 10 percent stretch or greater and I don't think we'll have them fail any time soon. A tip is to cut the belting at 45 degree angles to have a greater surface area on your bond.
