[QUOTE="Greybeard, post: 283730, member: 8412"] 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. [/QUOTE]
