Sanding belts (need recommendation)

[Potts]

Hi, I tend to use two particular belts, generally 120 and 180 grit in 25x 762 and 100 x 914, I’ve ordered some from the site sponsor, they are Klingspor with a taped joint

I’m trying to avoid the “clunk” you get as the joint passes the work piece, anyone offer any tips and is a taped joint the best way to go?

cheers
