I picked up a large box of belts. They are new old stock. The belt abrasive
and
fabric are fine. When you run a belt it snaps apart at the taped joint
after a few
pressured revolutions.

The clear tape simply lets loose. We tried using standard plastic packing
tape which
is pretty strong stuff but that experiment did not test out. Just for the
sake of having
it handy, Gorilla duct tape went on and failed next.

Does anyone have a suggested tape or other fix so these belts are usable?

How about some carpet seam tape? The kind that you use to hold two edges
together, heat up with an iron, and voila, they are stuck together. Do you
know a carpet layer?
