    Default Way OT: Glass Splinters

    I managed to get tiny glass splinters in about 3 of my fingers today and i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get them the **** out!? I've tried picking them out with a pin but they're just too small. It's driving me up the wall!

    super glue. Put superglue on your fingers and peel that off. USUALLY splinters will stick to the glue more than in your hand.

    Razor blades work too....use 2 fingers to pull your finger as flat as possible and run like any generic razor over it. Might hurt like a mother, but usually flips the splinter out. Also, soak your finger in some hot water first to get your pores to open up and soften the skin. Makes removal a bit easier
