My trick is to put a few drops of glue on, let it dry and when you peel it off, the splinter comes with it

I always dig it out with a knife. It usually works.

Ichthammol - not sure if a pharmacy near you carries it, but it's excellent to have on hand. It's a black drawing salve, and you put a little over the splinter (a piece of the splinter should be exposed, or the skin over it should be open slightly), then cover with a bandaid. It will draw the splinter out.
It's also excellent for bites/stings. Edit: (It's pronounced Ick' thu mall) |

I use tweezers, or a razor blade to cut a little to get to it. But i only do that if i have to.

Use sulfuric acid to dissolve it out? And the part of your finger with it? Just a suggestion. Please don't do it.
