I don't know what rejeo is, but using silk wrap or fiberglass wrap with super glue is used a lot for nails. Nail laquer would probably be less brittle and work better for strengthening and/or protection if there's no consideration for adhesion. When you use super glue with silk or fiberglass, it is stronger, but can be more brittle. One thin layer of super glue added to wrap isn't too bad, and can add strength, but for your purpose laquer probably would be better. You can also use rubberized superglue. They make it clear. (also comes in black). It's flexible and less brittle. You can even use that stuff straight as a nail strengthener (like tough as nails). If you do that you can dry it quickly by spraying with some mild nail glue dryer. There's one I'm looking into right now (testing) which is thin, clear and rubberized. So far, pretty good results. For adhesion, you want the thinnest, purest cyanoacrylate, "super glue" you can get. They measure super glue viscosity in cps. 1 to 3 cps is the best for really good adhesion. ( we carry that one). You can get fiberglass or silk wrap at most beauty supply stores. Get the kind that's self adhering, makes it a lot easier. My 2 cents.
