Infection is also common in this method; from what I've seen usually from failure to even attempt to clean the site; or from using un-sterile needle or other sharp implement.

If time permits and the blister is not to deep, Removing the blistered skin, and only the blistered skin and allowing the site to be exposed to air over night to dry has worked many a time for me. Depending on how deep the blister was is how tender it will be, usually dries and toughens up over night and then not quite good as new but good to go. I usually cover the whole thing with moleskin, other than a little tenderness no more blister. (this is what has worked for me)

Also I've used Derma bond on blisters where the skin was already broken and raw, trimmed the skin back dried it, clean and applied a thin layer of Derma bond and it was good as new, although it didn't feel very good.

Wonder if Derma bond might work better than Benzoin? Hurt a little less? Anyone tried this?

Have never actually tried the needle and string method, think I'll try that method see how it works on my next good blister..
