Working on Aesthetics

To increase the durability of the AspiraMolde's outer shell, I am using fabric patches to cover it.  The nylon patches have adhesive on the back that does not need to be heated (not iron-on) but this limits the size.  The largest patches are 8"*8", so there are a lot of edges.  I have been trying to work on a method to keep the edges from peeling up while being flexible, I don't want it to fall apart.  I've tried Plasti-dip, epoxy and bathroom caulk to seal the edges.

Epoxy covering the edges

The plasti-dip worked well and kept the bag very flexible.  The epoxy was better at holding the gaped pieces of nylon patch, but it was stiffer and cracked when bent.
