But, neither is necessary if you don't mind putting the tips of your thumb and finger into your mouth. I use a large jewelers' screwdriver to pull a dalop of hash out of the jar. Then, I wet, thoroughly with spit, the ends of my thumb and index finger. Then I use my thumb nail to scrape it from the screwdriver, and I pass my index finger over my thumb nail to get it on the tip of my finger. Then, as my finger is slimy with spit, I can just touch the dalop to the bottom of the bowl, and it sticks there, ready for me to smoke it.
Try dipping a straightened paperclip into it (stored in a small glass vial). Then hold it over the bowl and heat the paper clip slightly until it liquidfies and runs off.
