Should work fine. An even older trick was to use 2 elastic bands.... big ones.... place one around each of the 2 parts to separate, around each part with a big loop on the outside, tighten, turn one relative to the other, and that sometimes works even better, especially for this items like filters that are stuck together..... What does not work is trying to grab one relative to the other and turning.... but you learn that one rather quickly..... Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net I have had a Voigtlander LTM/M adapter stuck in another adapter for about a year. Finally, today, I decided to separate the two pieces. I tore off about 6 or 7 inches of duct tape and folded them, sticky side out, to make loop. I stuck one side to my work bench and placed the Voigtlander adapter against the sticky surface. With a strong twist, they separated. No scratches or tool marks on either piece! I thought this might be useful to someone else.
