Any tricks for getting fiberglass splinters out?

Working with fiberglass this weekend. Any tips for removing those splinters?

I feel your pain, some helpful hints are rinsing with cold water first to close the pores before more fiberglass gets into your skin, then soaking effected area in warm water and epson salt. Hydrocortisone will help if you don't have luck removing. Another trick I've tried is using applying tape to the area of skin, in hopes it collects the slivers like a lint brush. Also, before working with fiberglass coat exposed skin with baby powder it helps avoid fiberglass sticking to you. Hope your project is going well.
