I remember 40 years ago purchasing a kit where you could make o-rings from lengths of "Buna-N-rubber cord. It had a precise cutter and a V block to ensure that the ends were lined up correctly. There was a special glue Cyanoacrylate adhesive.  Those orings were so tough that you couldn't pull them apart.

I just looked it up and they still sell that kit at NAPA Part #: BK 7701018 Line: Balkamp or on Amazon Loctite 112 O-ring making kit which comes with a cleaning solvent and Locktite 404 glue

Now in my thinking, if you can make o rings from rubber rope material, why cant it work to repair a split in the slide seal?

I'll be looking at that.  The big problem is access.
