On square and round belts, I've had surprisingly good, longlasting results
with crazy glue, a clean razor blade and a teflon v-block. On flat belts,
your stitch method may be the best.

Likewise, similar success. A good quality cyanoacrylate glue does an
excellent job on 1.2mm square section cassette belts. As John says though,
it is necessary to get a very clean and perpendicular cut at the two faces
to be joined. Once the joint has been made, a piece of very fine wet and dry
paper can be used to remove any glue that has exuded from the joint. This
can be done with the belt stretched over your finger. If you are successful,
the joint is barely visible without magnification, and will stand a
substantial 'stretch' test
