Cold Dop Epoxy, 2-Part is supplied for mounting gemstone preforms to dop sticks. The product is positioned in the lapidary trade as a standard adhesive for the dop stage of cutting.
Application protocol differs by adhesive class: hot-melt waxes are softened on a heated dop, while two-part epoxies are mixed and applied at room temperature. The choice depends on stone species and the cutter's thermal preference.
Storage at ambient temperature is generally adequate; manufacturer guidance is printed on the packaging.
