Repair the joint as a moving assembly
A mesh belt splice flexes over rollers on every circuit. Replacement joint material needs to follow that motion while keeping the two belt ends aligned. Match loop pitch, pin clearance and stitched attachment to the original construction.
The thickness of the completed repair determines how it clears guides and supports. Keep the joint square to the belt travel and check it across the full working width rather than treating a narrow sample as the finished splice.
