I used a single belt over a period of more than 15 years before it finally snapped at the joint, so there are some very long-lasting adhesives out there that can be used to hold a belt together. | |

I've had some old belts lying around, all of them broke at the joint after less than 10 seconds of sanding. Lap joint is the way to go if you're making your own belts, but otherwise sticking with plain butt joint and keeping belts fresh should minimize breakage | |
