I learned a neat trick with the punty at GlassStock a couple of years ago;

to pick up a leaf, petal, wing, whatever that you want to attach to something

first marver the tip of your punty rod to a pencil tip shape

then get the tip molten hot and, quick like a kitty, slide the molten tip of the punty up to the edge of your petal/wing/fin. The molten tip usually will adhere to the petal and then you can pick up the petal with the punty and attach to the body.

the punty is only very lightly attached to the wing, so you cannot put too much pressure or torque on it, but the flip side is that it detaches very easily and very cleanly.
