self healing injection points and adhesive questions

I was wondering if there is a way to make a self healing injection point on an oven bag. I bet silicone adhesive would work well, but how will it stick and can it hold up to the temps of a pressure cooker? also, what are some adhesives that will definately hold up to and hour and ten minutes of 15psi sterilization? are there any?
as always, i love help and people who do it!

use a high temp silicone.
I used to make injection ports with it.

let the silicone cure in a ventilated area, away from any mushroom activites. The VOC will cause mutations.

Scrub the bag with an abrasive pad for cleaning pots. or a brillo pad or fine sandpaper. THe silicone will adhere far better. This can be done for cap lids too, but it is more important for bags since they are flexible.
I have never heard of a "low temp silicone" either, I think all would work. I think the high temp is really "extra high temp"

Simple is ALWAYS ---> BETTER than complicated.
Why do you want to add an injection port - to a bag?
Simply alc swab bag area where you intend to inject, inject & then tape over injection site - with wide clear packing tape.
If you want to double strengthen the injection site, add clear tape - FIRST - inject through tape & bag, then tape over the existing tape.

Silicone kicks ass. Also known as "gasket maker" in hardware stores. NOTE:
I get high off the fumes.

I agree. I picked up a small tube of silicone for everyday repairs and it says it's good up to 400 F, which is way higher than a PC at 15 psi.
