Y'all ever heard of a cold seal? It's really cool - similar to what Elizabeth is talking about. If you take any old rod of glass you can heat a small section and touch it to your piece to make a handle. The difference in temp causes a small weakness to form where the two meet. When you want to remove the handle/punty all you have to do is tap it against something (I usually use the graphite marver on top of the torch). I suggest making a lumpy object (not a marble) and seeing how many times you can transfer from handle to handle to handle. If you want to transfer from one handle to another, you have to tap off the original handle before the new one cools and forms the weakness... it's a super useful skill to have but takes some timing. I always have trouble with these when I change COE because the timing is way different. Good luck!
