Smart splinter remover. Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

I love those remedies! I once saw a book on either QVC or HSN with all sorts of home remedies and wanted to order it, but didn't. I regret it now.
