    I often cast project components that are as small as 1.5mm and have
    found that after removing from the sprue they are a bit tough to
    hold. My solution is to crazy glue them to my thumb nail and as the
    glue holds instantly I can burnish,polish and do general cleanup (be
    gentle). I remove them with an engraving tool and burn the glue off
    with my torch. Crazy glue works as great on your nail's as it does
    when you accidentally glue your fingers together. 

It aint the miles but the smiles per mile.
