best cure for noise in belts is apply canning wax while it is running, we have used this to help diagnose belt\pulley noise for years. The best "fix" is to replace the belt, dressings and other remedies are short lived at best.

they have a bunch of that stuff. The Old Iron bunch would also be able to help.

Just found a forum called hobby machines, or something close. Two guys saying they are using ground up violin rosin.
Pine pitch. I bet that's pricey! And it makes me think they have checked with companies that make belts.
