From what I understand much of the green stock is actually made to slip for applications where jam-ups can occur such as conveyers, etc.

Great news Jim :)

Use the Loctite brand of glue as well, since i am "raised" using their o-ring kits at work.
It has never failed me there, so never had any reason to stray.
My glue here is Loctite 406. Since that´s what comes with the kits, i´ve always bought that to be safe.
But 406 it is more or less a standard cyanoacrylate glue, so assume other types (and brands for that matter) will do the job equally well.

Thanks for the tip, Jan! 
I just ordered some 406 for my rubber drive bands.

Yes, they advertise it as that as well. If you look close it is textured.

I’ve never seen the 2 part super glue, will have to look for it as I had troubles using plain super glue on black rubber belting and gave up on it.

Really happy with the black look of the O ring and its very limp material and very strong and that glue joins it superbly.

The latest batches of the green belting from China was the most vivid flouro green.
