I'd like to buy this merch duffle bag, but I read that it's very thin and rips easily. Typical expensive low quality merch.
Here's my question
>Would spraying the inside of the bag with a coating of black liquid rubber strengthen it?
If not, what else could I do? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks a lot!

why don't you just buy a proper bag and paint that logo on it.

I want to support the developers and I like the fact that it's official too.

Just buy more DLC and make your own bag.
Even if you manage to make the inside of the bag better you'll just end up breaking the straps and handles if it's that cheaply made.

If you really want to go through with it you could get a strong tarp and sew it into the inside.

I have an EastPak shoulder bag that was coated with rubber inside and that just got nasty over time.

why would you want to support people that make shit products?

You could probably just take measurements, sew a liner and straps and then sew that into the bag..wouldn't be crazy hard but might take a little time.

But honestly at that point you might as well just make your own bag.

literal cockolds like you are the reason these kinds of products are always garbage.
just buy a proper bag and donate to them if you think they need your money so bad

I get where you're coming from. Any advice on how to get a logo like that on a high quality duffel bag then?

>> No.1770319

Buy two of them and stuff one inside the other to double up the thickness.

Looked around and found a high quality duffel bag that's even cheaper.
I'd still love to put the logo on it

You could always try cutting out a stencil and taping it to the bag and then painting it with some kind of rubbery paint... maybe plastidip? Or hell even an acrylic paint from the arts and crafts store in a color you like. They probably sell some that are made for fabrics.

Also in regards to your original question, I saw a video a few days ago of a guy that coated the inside of a brown paper bag with Durabak bedliner and then he let it cure and filled it with water. The bag was water tight and stayed that way until all the water evaporated out over several months time... I've used the Durabak on a vehicle before, and it is decently tough, but fades in the sun. I guess if it were just inside the duffel bag it wouldn't matter much if it faded.

pretty sure there's some rubber paint you can just paint dircectly onto there through a stencil that would look and feel nice. don't know much about that though
