2. Place the other belt end in the press and align the belts.
3. Use the soldering gun to tack the cut in place. Add filler strips of like-material against the belt edges, place
a narrow strip (at least .015” thinner than the belt) on each side outside to cap the end of this belt-like
material.
Filler strips along the belt edges serve several purposes:
Prevents the belt material from flowing out during the welding process
Helps avoid a “necking down” appearance caused by belt width shrinkage
Helps balance the top press beam during welding
There can be no gaps or open areas on the platen bed
