Belting Mess
« on: December 13, 2019, 01:19:20 am »
When I bought 10 meters of Green or Rubber Belting I always got it all in a mess.
I pushed the belting into a bottle (it took a little time). After that, I drilled a hole in
the bottle cap. I pulled out about 3 meters ( I had to put it back in) and it looks like
it has fixed my belting mess.

Good solution Carl - I've always had the same problem so I'll give this a try.

Neat solution Carl, and I know what you mean... I had a roll of belting, and every time I went to use it, I had a mess  :D

Recently I bought more (200 ft) and it came nicely rolled up on a spool  :)

Somehow, I got 2 200 foot spools! 400 feet!

I can hand out sections like licorice.

I also got two spools but had to pay for both ;) mine are two different flavors  ;)
