I have too. Clean razor, generally you get a new colony quicker with larger pieces cut IMO.
I'll often remove the coral for it [easier to do] and keep it in a small tub/rubbermaid/etc for propagation. Do the mounting/attaching of the frags ... let all the slime, mucus/etc disappate after cutting in a separate container vs. the tank where they might affect other livestock.
For attachment, I normally use the plastic-toothpick method [plastic toothpicks are cheap at a `party store'].

I'm sure there are threads via search too ...but that will get you some more ideas.
