Ouch! Got a Splinter? (Pass the Scotch.)

last updated on 5 November 2011

Scotch tape that is.

Before using tweezers to get out a splinter, try a bit of scotch tape first.

How to do it

Step 1: Place a bit of scotch tape over splinter firmly.

Step 2: Pull it off and the splinter should come out with it without any pain.

(And of course, do pull in the opposite direction so it doesn’t embed itself in deeper.)
