When all else fails, or just because you don't want the hassle of
rounding up rubber bands and gloves or whatever else might, or
might not, work, if you're at home and you have an electric stove,
try this:
1. Take the offending filters to the stove and place them on one
of the eyes with the stuck filter on top. In other words, you
want the filter that's screwed into the other filter on top.
2. Turn the eye on to low, keeping your hand on the eye.
3. When the eye gets too hot to hold your hand on, which will take
only a few seconds, pick up the filters and unscrew the now
unstuck one.
Works every time, takes less than a minute, no mess, no sweat, no
cussing (unless you keep your hand on the stove eye too long).
The heat expands the ring of the bottom "host" filter and the two
come apart with no effort. About the only thing you can do wrong
is leave the filters on the stove eye too long so that the heat
travels through the bottom filter and into the top one and expands
it too so that you're right back where you started and you'll have
to do it all over again after they cool off.
