Hi,
gloves plus a tiny drop of MoS2 (molybden disulphide) oil works
wonders. Put a drop of oil between filter threads and wait for about
10 minutes. After that most of filters separate freely and they do not
stuck again. I've used this technique for separating filters from lenses
and each other on old cameras. Some threads may have been not moved for
tens of years...

separate 2 stuck filters
Hi Pentaxians
I have two 55mm filters stuck together and would like to ask for an
advice to separate them.
I can not hold each of them easily to turn them because of the little
ring area, is there anything
I can do without damaging one of the filters?
Put on a pair of rubber gloves (dishwashing latex gloves will work).
Sandwich the two filters in the palms of your hands and twist them apart.
