Lapidary Dop Wax

Lapidary Dop Wax is a specialized adhesive wax designed to securely mount gemstones during cutting and polishing in lapidary work. It provides strong adhesion to keep stones firmly attached to dop sticks throughout grinding, shaping, and polishing, while allowing clean and damage-free removal once the work is complete. Available in high-temperature, low-temperature, and general-purpose formulations, it accommodates gemstones of varying hardness and sensitivity, from tough sapphires to delicate opals and malachite. The application process involves heating the dop stick and wax until pliable, applying the wax to the stick, positioning the gemstone, allowing it to harden, and then gently reheating for removal. Users should ensure both the gemstone and dop stick are clean, avoid overheating delicate stones, and store the wax in a cool, dry place. Offering the perfect balance of adhesion, durability, and ease of use, Lapidary dop wax is an essential tool for both professional gem cutters and hobbyists seeking precise, high-quality results.
