Reminds me of a little trick someone taught me during my time in a lab: I was handling very delicate cells, and typical (plastic sterile) pipettes used for bio wet lab work weren't working; the pipette tip edges were too sharp and damaging the cells. On someone's suggestion, I took some glass pipettes and melted the tips under a flame juuuust enough to round and soften the edges, so they wouldn't damage the cells.
It was a moment that truly highlighted the art of practising science for me.
