That looks great to me, and you don't have to worry about getting bit!

You know what yall should check out, is this guy:

This guy does a really nice snake skin paint job on his pvc bow. I think I would go with this before the fabric, even though the fabric does look nice, IMO, it is pretty darn expensive considering it is a very small fraction of fabric. If it is not real anyway, why not embrace the fact it is not real, and get artistic with it?  :)

I use system three epoxy for everything. It's pretty expensive, but It's awesome for any laminate bows, and I have plenty of it. So put some on the back, lay down the fabric, apply a little extra on top of the fabric, and work it in and smooth it out with your fingers ( wear gloves). Wrap the fabric around the sides just a little, when it's dry you can just sand the edges smooth. That's what works for me anyway.
