DOP WAX .
Green Dop Wax is
our most popular wax for dopping cabochons. Melts at 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
This specially formulated low temperature wax is ideally suited for heat sensitive stones
such as Opals and Turquoise. Black Dop Wax
is a wax with a higher melting
temperature than the green dop wax. Recommended for use when greater holding strength is
required. Stones have a lesser tendency to move or shift with this wax. Useful during
grinding and polishing operations where increased pressure and heat may cause movement of
the stone. Melts at 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Packaged in one pound boxes with 4 sticks per
box. |

NCF Accelerator.
A bond
accelerator for all cyanoacrylate adhesives, including Hot Stuff. Can be
used before or after adhesive is applied. Especially useful when more
than a drop or 2 of Hot Stuff is needed, as cyanoacrylate does not bond
quickly in larger quantities. One spritz from the spray pump bottle is
all that is needed. On close fitting parts, apply adhesive, then spray
edge and NCF will cause a chain reaction bond to occur. Use very small
quantities to avoid causing the adhesive to turn white, and for
economy.
