I have used Gorilla glue on my lathe belt and it is still working
fine 10+ years later.
I think that, although the dried glue is fairly rigid, it is able to
fracture into a series of narrow rigid joints that roll around the
pulleys like tank treads

I worked in an industrial leather belt factory after school hours. The
belt splicing glue they used was colorless and smelled of acetone,
like Duco.
