If you fingerpick, you know that Murphy’s Law decrees that you’ll break a fingernail right before a performance or recording session. Whenever it happens is always at the worst time. So it’s good to know that if you crack or tear a fingernail and the pieces are still attached, you can easily repair it by painting the nail with heavy-duty glue. My personal choice is Instant Krazy Glue in the brush bottle. If the glue alone doesn’t do the trick, layer a couple of layers of tissue paper and then glue. Looks wild but it works!
