Okay, so maybe it's just me but it seems like anytime I have a freshly-cured 
layup or any fiberglass with a ragged edge and I brush up against it, I've got 
those itchy invisible glass splinters in my skin and no easy way to see them or 
get rid of them.  Scratching and scraping only breaks them off and leaves parts 
buried in the skin, still irritating and itching.  Slapping a piece of duct 
tape on the area will sometimes pull up most of them, but here's a way to get 
them all.

Get some white or yellow wood glue (Elmer's, Titebond, whatever...NOT epoxy and 
NOT super glue!)  Spread a layer of it around on the area where the glass 
splinters are.  Let it dry and then gently peel it off, starting at the edge.  
If it's good and dry, the glue will peel off in one piece and the splinters 
will come up with the dried glue.  Works for those tiny wood splinters, too.
