Half the mustache fell off my 3’ nutcracker. How can I repair it? Nutcracker is made of some type of fibrous material, not plastic, not wood.
Not sure you can get a couple of inches but wetting the leather and stretching until dry will extend it, if it's possible.
Not sure you can stretch that long.
your better bet is to get a belt extender, or just get a new belt.
Can't. Even wetting it a trying to stretch it won't work. It will return to it's original length as it dries.
Maintaining the stretch while drying would probably make the edges curl or disfigure.
