Craig, I am using conveyor belt material also. I used a carpet cutter type razor to cut it originally and it did not fray from that, then I applied CA glue (super glue type) to the bottom edge to stop potential fraying from hitting something. It has had one string that required cutting and reglueing, but that was after a good flogging at the track and several rubs with the ground and curbs. I will add, my car is far from a daily driver, which I am sure makes a big difference.

Another trick is to cut the bottom edge on a bevel, with the point of the bevel toward the front, so that there's some rubber to sacrifice before it gets to the cords. Used to do that on our SCCA cars.
