Howdy folks.
I only wrapped Benotto one time, but it held up as long as I wanted it to. I put it on some Cinelli 66-44s and I had to stretch the heck out of it and really watch the overlap to get to the tips. I wrapped from the stem out and never had any issues with it moving or lifting at the edges. I also never used it again ;^)

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....
