In my experience the ones you dont want to attach to nearby rocks will while the others wont. I think they do it to make us mad

never tried a shot glass, lots of people use a small bowl with rubble and netting to keep frags in till they glom onto something

eaglelox,
The toothpick should work. We have used them several times for attaching leather frags. We have also used fishing line or regular sewing thread and a needle to sew the frags to a rock.

Ya, that will work. You can also stick a toothpck thru the base and use a rubberband to hold it softly till it attaches
