Dop Wax (1lb)

Dop Wax is a very commonly used adhesive for holding the stone to the Dop while it is being worked..  It is a mixture of wax and shellac in a proportion that has a sufficiently high melting point to resist accidental movement or release of the stone.  Dop wax is inexpensive – a little bit goes a very long way.  Our package is approximately 1 pound – enough for several years of faceting.  Alternatives to Dop Wax are cyano-acrylate adhesive (super glue) and epoxy.
