Bob,

My index fingers get tore up all the time even from mono and I use the blue flex wrap stuff. It is fairly inexpensive at squidco, and I usually get a couple rolls of it. I dont usually have a problem with it unwrapping, but it usually rolls up at the ends and I will reapply. I think if you coat your fingers with glue, the spectra will burn through it, but I use it all the time to cover up splits in my fingers. I also play the drums, and sometimes between sets I will notice my fingers split so I always have a roll in my gear bag.

And as far as duct tape goes, I wouldnt use that as obviously it will hinder movement, and the glue on the tape can irritate the crap out the cuts.
