Are you planning on using the stick type while the steam engine is running?

Had a friend who used the stick type of belt dressing and almost lost 3 fingers.

Something to think about.

Gaskacinch works well, along with just about any other brand of rubber cement.

EDIT- Add "steam engine" to thread title to avoid confusion.

Is this a leather belt or fabric of some sort?

Have you tried the "Beltraction" brand spray in the green cans? We found it to be a good substitute for the sticks. In fact, we stopped buying sticks. We were running four inch flat leather and canvas belts.
