Classic 3 VPI

My Classic 3"s belt squeals upon turn on.  After a couple of seconds, the squealing stops.  I've tightened the pulley, installed a new belt and did what VPI recommended, I powdered the belt.  After applying powder, the squeal quietened but squealed again on the very next try.  I reapplied powder and the same thing happened.  Any advice is welcomed.

Spin the platter by hand before you push the power button. Both of my VPI TT's do the exact same thing.

My Rega RP 3 just started doing the same thing. My white belt has around 120 hours of play time how long will a belt last? Also can I use two belts on the RP 3?
