Most every maintenance source counsels against splicing tape which functions with a rotary-head system - VHS, Betamax, DAT etc.

If it comes to this, I would recommend losing more than a couple of seconds - join the tape, and play back to a point before the splice, and stop. Fast forward, and replay from a point after the splice. Do not, absolutely do not, play over the splice.
