ORIGINAL: gerundino63 If I have the permission to add a point to the points of Ricardo, 5. Try to avoid to put the glue all the way to the cuticle, it avoids the risk of getting allergic to the glue. Of course you have permission to add your opinion, however I must go on record to disagree. When I have a good coat of glue lasting a long time I notice a little gap forming at the nail bed as new nail is growing forward. That gap ends up catching on the string, and tells me that sometimes rasgueados start way back there and run the length of the entire nail. It follows that you would want to proctect that area so that after it grows out, you don’t end up with a weaker thinner nail in that area where the string was digging in. The second issue we have argued in the past, sure some rare % of people develop allergies to all kinds of things. You can’t live life thinking you MIGHT be allergic to something, the only way is to do tests. In my family someone had a reaction to shrimp at the dinner table so now whenever somebody bites into a shell fish there is the awkward pause as my family members wait to see if you start to balloon up. IMO that is silly. It might happen and then the person will know they need to deal with it, until then average joe needs to carry on with life. The last thing is people might be concerned of “chemical reactions” with the skin and such. Again I have stated numerous times I often put this stuff right on top of open wounds to close and protect, never had a reaction from any type of nail glue of any brand so far. Just this summer at the beach my sister in-law fell off her bike and busted her chin wide open. Blood squirting everywhere. Now she is a nurse and had tons of first aid gear handy, she put gauze and tape etc. After couple of hours the wound kept ripping open and blood pouring down every time she laughed or opened her mouth too wide, certainly a candidate for stitches, or major scarring was gonna happen. I told her I couldn’t take it anymore pulled out my nail glue and glued that thing shut. Bleeding stops immediatley and she was fine soon after. Ricardo

I told her I couldn’t take it anymore pulled out my nail glue and glued that thing shut. Bleeding stops immediatley and she was fine soon after. Cyanoacrylate glues were used during the Vietnam War to stop bleeding. A quote from Wikipedia confirms that, "cyanoacrylate can be safer and more functional for wound closure than traditional suturing (stitches).[15] The adhesive is superior in time required to close wounds, incidence of infection (suture canals through the skin's epidermal, dermal, and subcutaneous fat layers introduce additional routes of contamination),[15] and finally cosmetic appearance.[16][17]" Another quote from Wikipedia refers to its use by musicians, "Similarly, stringed-instrument players can form protective finger caps (in addition to calluses) with cyanoacrylates." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate#Medical_and_veterinary
