Pay no attention to that.

Just switch to a really fine Wet Or Dry paper like 600 grit as your final step and that fine abrasive will burnish that raggedy leather right off and leave you with a really professional looking smoothly polished and slightly longer slot.
Many thanks. I am going to do that. You must be a genius.

I do wish someone who has a 1.5 Wilderness belt and a HBE would give the measurements of those belts.

Best,
