Trying to understand why my glass punties keep sticking

In my experience, when I use steel punties on soft glass, they sometimes fuse to the piece. I've tried cooling them first, but it still happens. I think it might be related to the glass temperature or the punty material. Any tips on preventing this? Your mileage may vary, but I'd love to hear how others handle it.

Honestly, it might be a cleaning issue. Gunk on punties makes them fuse to soft glass easy. How do you prep yours?

My punty prep is basically just hoping for the best. Does that count as a technique? I've fused more punties than I care to admit.
