I have finished cutting and polishing the pavilion of a stone and now need to transfer it.
The first flat dop stick is glued on with super glue.
I glued up a cone dopstick and was trying to take off the first dop stick but it stubbornly stayed in place and the second dop stick came off. I was heating the first with a flame and giving it a slight tap hoping it would give way. But didn't work.
Not sure if I should reglue the cone dop back on and try again.
I have noticed in videos some use V shaped dops instead of cones. It seems like with a cone there is not a lot of glue there. Am I using too much pressure and squeezing the glue out?
Should I try using wax for the second dop?
Would love any suggestions.
