Frequently asked questions

What is dopping wax used for?

Opal dopping wax is used to secure gemstones, especially opals, to a dop stick during the cutting and polishing process. It provides stability and control, allowing for more precise shaping and finishing.

How do I use dopping wax?

To use, heat the wax until it softens, press the dop stick into the wax, and attach the gemstone. Once cooled, the wax creates a firm hold, keeping the gem stable during cutting or polishing.

Can I reuse dopping wax?

Yes, dopping wax can typically be reused. After finishing a stone, simply reheat the wax to remove any residue and reshape it for your next project.

What makes green dopping wax different from others?

Green dopping wax is formulated for strong adhesion and easy release, making it especially effective for holding opals securely during cutting and polishing without damaging the gem.
