I'm not an expert in this technology but I read some years ago that
making a belt loop for a belt sander can only be done in the factory.
The ends must be skieved and glued under great pressure. You could
probably extend the useful life of your store bought belts by cleaning
them with one of those belt cleaners.

Try: http://www.amgron.clara.net/hintsntips/sandingbelts.htm on my web site.
This is taken from a rather old booklet, but should still work because
Scotch glue (Hide glue, Murricans) is regarded as a flexible glue in this
situation.
