My local fabric store stocks similar stuff. Nylon with one side rubberized. Bought a few metres of it as I'm planning on replacing the bellows for my 14x17.
Have you already glued the inner fabric together at the joint or is this just taped in place to take the photo? If you have already glued the inner fabric together, I suspect that you will have a very difficult time gluing the outside fabric in place. This looks exactly like my 8 x 20 bellows in mid-construction.
I'm using 3M spray no. 77, having no problems and this is my second bellows with this material.
The trial I did a few years back I did use the black plastic from inside photo paper envelopes and blackout curtain, even then no.77 gave a very strong bond if used per instructions to obtain a permanent bond instead of easy to peel apart bond.
I wrote the above before, now re-reading your post, I see I didn't read it correctly, that was the outer fabric on the form inside out, I glued the ribs and then the inner fabric, then turned the bellows inside out again and folded it. Here it is so far:

I made a quick video during the folding stage:

I use the same glue... I take it you glued in a liner as well?
Bom trabalho camarada !!! Quero ver a camera pronta !

Wow, nice work, Guilherme!
I hope the rest of the build goes smoothly, and you are rewarded with a sweet 16x20 camera.
That would be my preferred size as well, if I were ever to make the jump to ULF.
Do you have a lens, or lenses, already?
