I was looking at the same thing, but so far the patch of material I'm working on doesn't seem to be as flexible, or it will cause the silicon to split :-(
I'll let you all in on one of the things I'm trying to do with this:

Aside from modify a few waterproofs, I want to set a mylar blanket into the underside of a tarp, for colder weather camping.

So, I need to be able to fold the tarp back up into it's small bag.
