This is intentional: it makes the two drums spin in opposite directions, which is how the carder works. But that crossover point is where the band rubs against itself with every rotation. Standard clear polyurethane can degrade at that contact point over time. The green material has a higher durometer (hardness) rating and is self-lubricating, meaning it can handle that friction without breaking down. If your carder uses a crossed drive band configuration, green is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Premium green polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDurometer: Higher rating for self-lubricating applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold: By the foot (12 inches per unit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Universal fit for most drum carders and larger drive systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Made in America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDIY Fusing Instructions:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut the drive band material to your exact required length. To join the ends, light a candle and hold each end approximately 1\/2\"–3\/4\" from the flame (not touching). When the material begins to shine and soften, quickly but gently press the ends together firmly and hold for 30–60 seconds until cooled. Use flush cutters to trim any excess squeeze-out for a smooth seam. The material heats quickly, so work carefully to avoid melting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Measure Your Drive Band:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove your old drive band and measure its total length when laid flat. Alternatively, wrap a string around your drive wheel or carder drums in the same path as the drive band, mark where it meets, and measure the string.
