If you want wide flat belting, then consider the stuff that is sold as both non-slip carpet under-padding and as non-slip shelf lining. It is a nylon fiber mesh (kinda like loose window screen) with a coating of rubbery foam-like material along the strands. (Kinda hard to describe, sorry). It's sold in rolls 12" and 24" wide for shelf liner (I got some at "the container store"; I'm sure it's available elsewhere), and rolls and sheets (like, 9' x 12') for under carpets.
The 'belt' is cut to length and the ends are sewn together (yes, needle and thread - choose thread wisely, and space out the stitches from the ends for strength) to make a loop.
The stuff is amazingly strong, and quite grippy, with hardly any stretch.
Good luck, see you in Trenton.
