If you can get the surface clean enough for it to stick, packing tape works 
works ok for patching up holes a an old way cover. (for "temporary")

The stuff is good to about 350C and completely resistant to oils and
solvents.  It is used as a single layer roofing material in clerical
buildings and as a high performance gasket in high pressure and
temperature applications.It would be complete overkill to use
fiber reenforced hypalon for a scarf guard but it is not expensive for
a single square yard of the stuff.

You can also use an old kitchen towel held on with magnets, likely
work just as well.

When I got my HNC lathe I wanted to get running right away,
http://www.wallacecompany.com/cnc_lathe/HNC/3-1a.jpg

but the cross slide bellows had large holes. Just to get by in the short 
term, I did a search for "how to fold diy bellows" and folded a bellows 
using a couple of legal manila file folders.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila_paper

It has been quite a few years and they are still temporarily working.

Tormach sells replacement covers for their machines for reasonable prices.
Perhaps one would meet your requirements. See

I have a scan of an article on making large format camera bellows. Email me
if a copy would help.

The magic term to type into Google is "Hypalon Fabric".
Other material would work but this stuff is VERY tough.  It is what
