If you suffer from thin weak nails, like me and use a 560mm +/- scale length flamenco guitar, you will know how frustrating having to continually re cover your nails with silk/superglue. Traditional cyanoacrylate is very brittle and as such you may find after an alegria and buleria, the edges lifting up to catch the strings as you play. Well your troubles have now been minimised by those clever bods at Loctite adding rubber to the superglue thus making the finish more elastic. This elasticity counteracts the chipping brittle nature of superglue. For those of you unsure what to do with your nails: file them at 45 degrees and round the corners, cut some silk, apply glue and then the silk on top and use a clean needle to press the silk into the glue; let it dry, cut edges off, file back and then apply some more glue over the leading edge and file smoothe when dry. It won't give you Paco's nails but it will improve your practice to manicure ratio!!! http://www.loctite-consumer.co.uk/en/products/superglues/power-flex/power-flex-gel-control.html
