Buy from them a bit, Probably find a zoro online discount coupon, pet peeve of mine is buying large quantities of sealants using a tiny amount then watching the unused portion dry out, unused on my shelf.

You got that right, large volume = great price. But once its open, its a goner. Like you, I started buying low volume and don't imagine it will be any good in a year, or two. Nonetheless, I can't find squeeze tubes of this 3m Adhesive 1300L......

Guys, I'm home working on these neoprene wings and here is some pics. I tired some .250 material and it started to tear asap so I'm doubling it up and hoped to glue the top and bottom layers together. This photo is not actually the the wings I'm working on but 70% the same. Good news is tried to again tear the silicon adhesive test strips apart and couldn't. Maybe it is good enough? I will later add better pics.

Glass urethane adhesive that can glue anything to everything.

More pics. In the below one, the old version is at bottom, then 2 just cut new ones to replace it.

Here is what it will look like. Who stood on it!!! The weight is seen just where it goes and it will be screwed into the blue plastic at its right.

The glue used. Took a whole tube.

Clamp setup.

What is it your trying to fix or modify?

Sounds like you have it covered already.
It's been a few years since I had to make my last endless belt for my lathe and the glue I used came with the belting material.
But most any adhesive recommended for endless belting should work.

Seems you can buy belting made from X, Y, z or many other materials. I know this stuff in the neoprene family and do wish I could have found tubes of that 3M 1300 glue which states it works on it. Oh well..

Felix-able wings on a roller.

If you need any strength a corded belting is much stronger. Neoprene is soft and prone to tearing. I use both materials extensively

I think this glue will work. I again tried to pull my test pieces apart and couldn't for the last bit.. When I glued the wings pieces together, I spent more time abrading it with 80 grit sand paper, then cleaning them with rags and alcohol. I think I'll again use this glue for the next one.

I've subsequently tried three different contact glues and all worthless.

in the whitewater world there is a product called Aqua-Seal. Try that, the stuff in the squeeze tube.
I just looked it up and they have a couple differnt types now. Not sure which is best. Sorry if you said you already tried this product, I sisn't read the whole thread.

I did try one of the Aqua-Seal's. I believe it was a repair contact variety.
