4 Sticks of dop wax in your choice of color!
This lapidary-grade hard dop wax has a melt temperature of 160°F (71°C) and has been the industry standard for many years.
Dop wax is a very popular wax for securing cabochons during lapidary work. This specially formulated low temperature wax is ideally suited for heat-sensitive gemstone materials such as opal and turquoise.
Used to attach stones to dop sticks while polishing. Melt under an alcohol lamp, or in a dop pot for best results and freeze to adhere. For best adherence wipe down the stone(s) with an alcohol wipe or cloth before melting the wax onto them. Also set any stone on the side of your dop pot to  keep them warm while waiting to be dopped.
Each stick is 5/8" x 10"

International buyers- please not that we cannot guarantee against cracks and breaks in the wax when shipping long distances. We wrap the sticks extremely thoroughly but cannot promise that the wax will arrive in "one piece."
Of note: The melting point is
160°F
at a simmering temperature, however if it gets too high at boiling stage the wax is ruined, ie roughly
170°F
.
