Have you tried cleaning the tape (both sides/both ends) to insure everything is clean prior to applying the splicing tape? Zeiss lens wipes work well to clean just prior to applying the tape. Give a few minutes to allow the alcohols to evaporate. Oils from your skin may be contaminating the splice.

If using an Xacto knife, clean the blade well with a lens wipe prior to doing any cutting. Their new blades are very oily.
