The household gloves trick works well to separate filters!

2005-08-16 Thread Markus Maurer
Hi Pentaxians

thanks to all of you responding to my question how-to separate stuck
filters, namely Graywolf, Juan, Bob,
Amita and more :-)

I followed William Robb's advice using household gloves (common cheap short
red ones for Cotty) and it worked very well!
It gives you a lot more force and your hands don't slip away from the tiny
filter rings.

thanks William, you are the hero of the day for me ;-)

greetings
Markus

I think the important thing to note is to *not* press the rings in 
sideways and distort their shape, thus making it harder to unscrew 
them. Of course you put marks on them this way, but...

Paaa.  Not even any ticklers?




Cheers,
