Instead of using superglue try spray adhesive on the zip-tie, it is sticky, like tape, can be removed with solvents (acetone i.e. fingernail polish), more flexible, easier to handle, more environmentally safe, and will last longer than superglue. Do note, superglue was invented for NASA for the space shuttle ceramic tile heat shield, and has a short bond life. This is why the tiles fall off the shuttle. And in part why the shuttle Columbia burned up upon re-entry. I know someone is going to say it crashed because of ice from the external fuel tank, but if superglue was so strong the tiles would have withstood the ice impact and cracked, and not fallen off. I'm an engineer and do know this kind of stuff.
