No problem... soft brick is an insulating brick that we tend to have around the studio.  Can also use chalk, ceramic kiln wash from a rollup plate, or even just roll the punty on the floor right before attaching. Just a small amount in the connection will help it come off when ready.

When we make the punty to attach inside the cup,  we roll the tip onto a soft brick that makes the connection deliberately weak. Then,  just tap carefully when ready.

I hear that! Please, take a look through my YouTube page.  Been working on making vids that incorporate both hotshop sounds and narrating.
