Removing a splinter

Today I read about two ways you can get a splinter out. The first was making a paste with baking soda and water and applying it to the area. Then cover it with a bandage and check it the next day. The splinter should have popped out and you can then remove it with tweezers. This could have been helpful last week when I needed it. Oh well, now I know for next time. The other way was using white glue. Apply glue around the area and let it completely dry. The glue can get in deep where the problem is and once its dry it will come off with the splinter attached. Hope this will be helpful to all.
