A Splinter Extraction Tip

October 18, 2018May 23, 2023 gags

Wish I would’ve known about this years ago…

From Family Handyman:

Have you ever struggled trying to get a splinter out of a finger or toe? It can be a challenge, not to mention a pain.

Spread a small amount of wood glue over the affected area and let dry completely. When you pull off the dried glue (gently and in the opposite direction of the splinter) it pulls out the splinter. By pulling the wood glue off in the opposite direction, the glue has a chance to pull the splinter out the way it went in. This tip is easy and most importantly pain-free!
