Tony, did you grind down half of each side,
with a bench grinder - by hand? What tool
did you use for that?
I've got the 1" wide gates belt from the
car parts store (the longest one they had,
might be enough for two belts for the bench
lathe) but they did not have the plastic
bonding cement from permatex you mentioned.
However they did have some 'weatherstripping
adhesive' which was similar stuff, comes with
two tubes of activator liquid. I've got plenty
of belt, so a test will be in order.
The only question would be, what tool to lap
the belt with.
The cataract lathe will be easy to do, most
of the belt's out in the open. If I can do that,
then the 10L would be next.
