There are several more effective methods of laminating this shinning mylar to the quilt or sleep bag but as others mentioned I also would highly recommend NOT doing that. Several great ways to add shock cord to a re-purposed bed quilt, poncho liner, or sleep bag, whatever you got, can find cheap from a friend, relative or at the local thrift store. You never know how often people you know throw out great stuff like old goose down quilts. A few years ago my mom gave away a Singer sewing machine her sister bought in the 1930's she never told me. Dang nab it. A ton of goose down probably goes into landfills every year, people need closet space.
