Ouch they hurt like hell i hear. I have a mate who got done awhile ago and he is super tuff. But couldn't stand the pain and poured boiling water on his foot. He said the 1st degree burns were even better

Well, after nearly 6 and a half hrs and lots of buckets of hot water the pain vanished. What a relief !

Get yourself a heat pack which you can microwave, much more portable than a bucket of water and easier to control the heat so you don't end up in hospital with a bad scold.

You can also get air activated self adhesive heat packs which you can stick to your foot and wear a work boot over.

5 cobbler stings to date and still counting.
