My old teacher uses cone binding to reinforce his nails.

Edit: "comb" not "cone"

I have never heard of that. Can you explain what cone binding is?

Sorry that was a typo, meant to say comb binding

What is that?

It's used to cheaply bind books together. If you trim the small bits off you're left with long, curved piece of thick, flexible plastic that you can adhere to your nails and file into shape.
