Thumb protection

[dsafety]

I did a good job slicing up my thumb the other day while reeling in miles of spectra. It got me thinking about possible ways to protect my thumb. I know that there are some products out there which are designed for this. I found this one on line. http://www.thumbdinger.com/ In a recent video, it looked Skallywag had some blue stuff on his thumb that looked like tape.

Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, I thought I would throw the question out to the forum before I head to the shop. What works? What doesn't?

Please weigh in if you have any suggestions.
