Easy and fun (?) If you happen to get an armload of little splinters from fiberglass insulation, etc., you'll soon be itching and you won't be able to see them. But you know they're there!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Elmer's Glue or something similar.

Step1
Don't scratch! Be patient and find your glue.
Step2
Gently spread the glue over the splintered area. Let it dry completely; this is when the glue layer gets to "grab" the splinter heads above your skin.
Step3
Once dry, peel off the glue in one direction. You'll be amazed. If you don't get all of them out, apply the glue again and peel in the opposite direction.

Tips & Warnings

  • This may not work well where you have a lot of hair, but then, if there's enough hair the splinters may not be so bad!
