RE: tomatito's thumb (in reply to mottallica)

in early 80's my dad who played classical guitar, had some of that green crud on his thumb nail and I asked what it was.....he said it was "cement" to hold the broken nail together. Not sure what cement or why it was green but it looked all too familiar to me when I first saw that Tomate vid.

I heard he had his thumb modified for a pneumatic air hose fitting so he could use the same kind of ratchet mechanism that is used in mechanics garages to screw on lug nuts of car tires.
