Do you recommend wax or glue for dopping?
![]()
I use red/brown wax (some times called diamond setters wax) for dopping everything and highly recommend that you learn how to dop with it.
Wax is the best and fastest way to dop almost everything, and once you get a little practice using it you will never use anything else.
Wax is safe, chemical free, inexpensive, versatile and if used properly quite strong.
If you took a survey of most people who cut a lot, pros especially, I think you would find that almost without exception they use wax.
It also keeps me from gluing myself to the stones.
