Why do DIY videos always assume I have common house hold items at my disposal? I'm a single male in my twenties, I have NOTHING!!!

This is the first howcast tip that is actually useful and is not dumb like how to protect your skin from the sun

how to remove a splinter:

step 1: go tell your mom

Congradulations!

If the splinter is on a callused area but too far in to reach you can just gently shave away the dead skin with a razor, I suggest anything with 3 blades or more. The blades will grab onto the splinter and pull it out. I just did it myself and it was painless.

this wont work unless its something strong like superglue, in which case it would rip your skin off too

I got a splinter and my mom dig it with a needle not hurt

[mathusel]

im pretty sure that was the longest howcast video ever

[ItsaRandomista]

that sounds like its only good for tiny splinters..
..which are actually the hardest to remove [esp the microscopic ones!]

Nope.. Had a splinter in my heel. step on it, and it was too deep to pull with tweezers. tried for about an hour. it was so annoying. So i looked up home remedies. And yup. A Raisin. Put a raisin over it with a band-aid, then about 5 hours later sure enough the splinter was above the skin, and pulled it right out.

Wow, you wrote the whole script in the description. You must have worked so hard.

This trick works wonders - I've accidentally had microscopic pieces of glass in my thumb and put wood glue on my thumb to remove the microscopic glass. (Also works with metal).

Highly recommend this trick.

[xblizkx]

[dandyman]
