Then I took the dental floss, doubled it and made a quilting knot at end, went through the tubing a couple of times, and ended with a double half hitch knot. Some of the edges of the packing tape are showing the signs of wear from where the tape hit the machine, (which was before I filed down the machine areas where the belt hits).
Hope that makes sense.
