Tip of the Day



Splinter Ender

Ever get a splinter in your finger and had trouble getting it out? Digging and probing can be painful and maybe even unsuccessful. Today you'll learn how to remove pesky wood?for good! Here's how: from deep within the Carey Brothers vault of ?do-it-yourself? surgery, we offer this to make removals super easy. Indeed, it says here: if you're a ?not-so? handyman who occasionally acquires a splinter or two, here's all the surgery you need to do! Rather than picking and probing, just take a piece of tape (the stickier the better; think masking or duct tape) and place it directly over the splinter. Press softly, so it gets a grip, and then pull it off quickly. You'll probably find your tape removes most splinters of wood quickly and easily!
