If you've got a few filters for your lenses, you've probably known them to get stuck from time to time. Twisting them off with a lot of force can be frustrating and potentially cause bending or damage, so photographer Jeffrey Guyer came up with an easier method: use a drawer liner.


Some drawer liners are just hard plastic, and those won't work. In this case we're talking about rubbery drawer liners (as depicted in the video above). Just place the lens face down on the rubbery surface, apply even downward pressure, and twist the filter off. This is a much easier and much safer technique.
