Use grease then if you ever need to remove them it's a nice easy process  :daumenhoch:

Stick your cups in the freezer for a couple of hours before hand.  :daumenhoch:

I have to say I've never found this to make the slightest difference?

Grease the frame, line up the cups, bit of wood over the top and whack with a lump hammer

Not saying you don't need any of the above utensils but deffo makes it easier. Who wants to be twatting fcuk out of a freshly powdered frame any more than they have to... or any frame for that matter  ???  Not me.  "nono"
