Filter removal

Oh yeah, I forgot that one. USB extension leads wrapped around the filer are another one that worked for me (cheap lenses on ebaay often seem to have filters welded onto the front of them..)

Dont know if this would work on stuck filters, but this is my so far guarantee on carbon fibre fishing poles or rods, Use double sided carpet tape close to the stuck joints both sides. This gives loads of grip for next to no pressure.

My wife has some "no-slip table mats" used to keep her plate from moving on the table. Those are usually sold at places where they have supply for handicap people. I use those to remove stuck filters. I put the mat on the table, put the lens face down on the mat, then, exerting some downward pressure and holding the lens tight, I unscrew the lens from the filter, which is held in place by the mat. So far, it never failed.

That reminds me these non-slip car mats really do get a strong
grip on anything you put on them link
