I need to solder two wires together from a fan to a molex connector and I'm wondering if, where the wires meet, I can cover the soldered ends with superglue instead of tape. Would a layer of that keep me from being shocked if I touched them?

yes.. but if there is any heat.. it may melt the supreglue?? i would just use electrical tape

No, superglue can take a lot of heat. Some people use it to hold on a southbridge cooler

The only problem with this is that super glue when dried becomes hard and any movement will crack and brittle it. There's always liquid rubber sold at RS i think, if you dont want to use heat shrink you just paint it on with a wooden match stick or something it's a bit more messy than heat shrink but good for odd places or some similar stuff called "Plasti dip" used for coating tool handles like pliers or files anything you want a rubber grip to it

how about some heatshrink tubing. $1 at home depot or any other electrical store or hardware store. sometimes the right way is the best way.
