I have a thin mount grad ND filter stuck on my 11-16. The biggest end spins obviouslty to adjust the grad but I for the life of me can't loosen the tiny ring that threads onto the lens. I have used this a ton and have never had this happen. I put it on last night and it won't come off now. I'm in the AC, would bringing it outside help? Any other ideas???

vise grips?
Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Strap wrench is your best friend.
Or tap it with a hammer.I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

Or those Silpat/silicone kitchen jar openers. Or maybe an inner tube.

Worked a treat. Didn't think of that. Good answers all. Hopefully they will help some ignoramus like myself in the future.

I found that if I try for hours to get a stuck filter off, then ask someone else to try, it takes a mere second or two for them to get it off. Well I did all the "real work" loosening it for them right?
I'll have to try rubber bands next time.

I do that for my girl with sauce jars all the time. She thinks she loosened it. Poor stupid lass
