Stupid staples...

[Trollbie]

I just got a half log for my milk. They stapled the paper with the description to the bottom of the log, and when I tried to pull them out, a piece of each staple stayed... I don't want to leave it there because it's sharp enough to probably hurt Penelope. But I can't get it out. Grrrr

Any ideas? Thanks!

Pliers? :)

Pliers! And yank

[Lankyrob]

Either pliers to pull it out or hammer to push it in far enough not to catch.

[Trollbie]

It's not far enough out to grab with pliers. If I hammer it in, it will be fine then?

[Gungirl]

Hammer it flat then take a Nail and place it on the piece of metal. Hammer the nail a little so that the staple piece is sunk into the wood a bit, then take out the nail. You only need to go in an 1/16-1/8 of an inch. That will solve any issues.

Thanks!

I wish they just taped the paper together and used it like a sleeve instead of stapling... Ugh
