What type of tape should I use?

The staircase is a kind of boxed in construction with in some parts
wall paper over the plywood or whatever it is
The wallpaper is fraying at these edges at the top and bottom of the
stair and where there are any turns.
How should I deal with these edges when decorating?

    Use border and overlap adhesive to stick it down, fill any remaining gaps with flexible filler, paint over.
