Re-glue butt splice on belts?

[M&J]

Took out some different belts that had been siting about 4-5 years and the moment they tensioned up, the joint separated. This happened to 3 belts so I'm not happy tossing these ceramic belts into the trash.

Is there a suitable adhesive that can be used?

I seem to recall we had some discussion about that years ago and the results were fairly depressing.

I know exactly how you feel when you take a brand new belt, put it on the grinder, and then have it come flapping off a few seconds later. Dangerous, irritating, and so aggravating to lose the $$ spent on that belt!

It's in your best interest to just trash those belts and buy new ones. It's not worth the risks trying to repair them involves.

Oh well. I suspect that whole box will yield the same breakage. Thanks for saving me the time of attempting to fix them.
