JOINING A FAN BELT
It is a simple matter to join permanently a flat belt of the kind often used for driving fans. The ends must first be chamfered for a couple of inches, and then smeared with fish glue, which is allowed to become tacky before the ends are pressed together and clamped til! dry. Usually the glue alone iVill hold the belt indefinitely, but as a precaution a couple of tacks may be added, the points being to the inside surface of the belt, and well hammered down. As an alternative to glue, six or eight tacks will fasten the belt very securely. Chamfering of the belt may be done with a sharp knife, but if a carpenter’s plane is available a better job can be done with it.
