Dop
Wax and Dopping Accessories: Dop Wax:
Standard
black wax comes in long square sticks. It has great flowing properties
when it's heated, so it is a great wax for beginners. If there is any heat
generated during polishing, Standard black wax may become a little tacky and the
stone may shift. Therefore, we don't recommend Standard black wax for cutting
corundum.

| Tweezers:
|
| 
|
|  | | Tweezers are handy
tools for faceters. Fine point tweezers are helpful when sorting
through a parcel of cut or rough stones. Locking tweezers are useful when
closely inspecting individual stones and for dopping. I use insulated tweezers
for holding stones during the dopping process. Their cross locking design
makes it easy to hold stones firmly in place. Insulated tweezers offer more
control when dopping small stones and keeps hands at a safe distance from the
flame. |
