I have a Skylight 1x filter on my lens permanently, it's mainly there for protection.

My question is. Should I remove it before using my circular polarizing filter?

Stacking filters runs risk of 1) vignetting, and 2) filters stuck to each other

I can understand that, filter threads are very fine and the do hold tight.

and two filter rings of the same metal will tend to bind to each other due to molecular physics.
