A method of applying a coating to a conveyor belt is provided. A first
layer of adhesive is applied to a first surface of the conveyor belt and
allowed to cure. One or more subsequent layers of adhesive are applied to
the first layer of adhesive; a final layer of the one or more subsequent
layers is allowed to become tacky. In some embodiments the adhesive is a
two-part cement. In particular embodiments, the two-part cement includes
an isocyanate part and a curable rubber part. A layer of two-part
polyurethane/polyurea is applied to the tacky layer of adhesive. The
coating process may be performed on conveyor belts having worn or damaged
portions in an effort to repair the conveyor belts.
