![Drier Belts, Better Seams](https://www.woodworkersjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/TTDryBelts.jpg)
I don’t have a climate-controlled shop. Over the years I’ve discovered that, during humid months, the moisture in the air sometimes loosens the glue seams on my belt-sander belts, causing them to break and come off during sanding. Here’s my easy fix: I now store my belts in resealable freezer bags. It keeps the glue seams dry and tight so they last much longer.
