It's a nice finish to cap off your tape job with black or a color electrical tape

Super Glue? That sounds like it would be an issue in the long run, but maybe it isn't. I have had great luck with rubber cement and benotto. And the "curling" issue can be a problem with benotto, but maybe I am just not pulling hard enough! I wouldn't recommend stretching it that much, as you may just rip it or do some other damage, which is the worst! At the end of the bar (towards the stem), I just trim and wrap some electrical tape to hold. But I guess there is something to be said for not using anything up there....
