Super Glue.

If you've ever split a fingernail down low, it takes weeks to months to grow out. I've done it a couple of times with a knfe, and about a month ago by dropping a sharp steel rail on my "social" finger.

The risk is that at any time the sliced nail can catch on something and get torn off, most painful.

The solution is quite simple. Trim a small piece of tissue to match the nail, put it in place and drip a drop or two of Super Glue on it.

Helps to rough up the nail with a knife to aid adhesion. Generally lasts a week or two and then simply repeat the process.

Jim.
