Urgent question about paste for removing splinters

4 replies

I've heard that there's some sort of paste you can make which draws out splinters. Any idea what it is, and can you tell me quickly so I can get the ingredients while I'm in town now?

Magnesium sulphate paste from a chemist

You can get magnesium sulphate paste - apply under a plaster and it sometimes draws foeign bodies out.

It's called magnesium sulphate paste. Buy it ready mixed from pharmacy, it's excellent stuff.
