What Type Belt Are You Using


So which type of belt are you using on you TT? I am just curious as to what others use on their rigs? I am using a 1/2" Mylar belt on my Redpoint Model D... I make them myself from a roll of Mylar Streamers which is about to be gone, so I am sorta looking around for a replacement for the stuff I am using???

VCR tape 1/2" wide, just splice and go.  Some hear a difference regarding which side of the tape is "out", I don't.
You may be familiar with this thread from way back. I’ve been using this for years on my Teres

The thread was started by Doug Deacon. Does anyone know what happened to him. I haven't seen any posts by him in a long time. He was a wealth of knowledge and always willing to help.
@analogluvr ,
What type VCR tape are you using? Is it 1/2" wide? Do you do anything to it before installing it? Or do you just splice it and go?
@palasr ,
I wanted to try one of the Kapton belts but, at $85 each I think not. I can make a Mylar belt for less than 8 cents....
I use good old VCR tape on my teres.  Trick is to splice it at an angle and only tape one side 
44" x 1/2" 2mil Kapton, spliceless on my Galibier.  If you're looking for an alternative, the Origin Live (1168mm) belt is well worth trying as well, despite the fact that it appears to be rubber.  It has a much lower modulus of elasticity than a typical rubber belt, and I find it to quite good sounding.
I still have the original square-section rubber belt in use on my Ariston RD11S! An occasional wipe with ArmorAll has kept it looking and performing as new! I've had it since the Carter administration!
