What's a good material to use for a Van de Graaff generator?

I am trying to make a van de graaff generator and I got most of it together, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting the belt to turnI've tried using pantyhose as the belt material, but it is a lot of trouble to work with and doesn't want to turnIs there any other material I can try? Also, the rollers are pvc pipe, the bottom is coated with electrical tape, and the top with aluminum foilI'm trying to do it with easy to find materials so I can use for a science fair project.One more question: If I use a latex belt, can I use the PVC as my negative roller and aluminum (or silk) as my positive?

Answer:
