My kit is coming together but until I patch the pinholes (found 2) I'm at a standstill. The pinholes are at the corner of the bellows where the sections are all bunched up. What do you use to do it? I'd prefer not using tape. This is not a leather bellows but something else.

I've used black automotive silicone goop, I see some have used black fabric paint.
I bought some of this - it's meant for cameras like yours and works well.
