[QUOTE="Pat Hogen, post: 519807, member: 11720"] Go to Bunnings and buy Loctite Super Glue "Precision" and a two part Loctite epoxy. Glue the stone(s) to the dop(s) by applying the superglue to the stone and the dop, join together evenly on the dop and allow to set; make up even parts of epoxy glue, mix well and coat around the glue between the stone and the dop by allowing the mix to slide down the dop onto the stone in a circular movement. Allow to set overnight. Removal of stone from dop is by heating slowly in water over a flame or on the stove until near boiling. Leave in water until bond is soft and will peel apart or separate from the stone and dop. [/QUOTE]
