Faceting Dop Wax (Low and High Temperature, Princeton and Covington)

This is dop wax for fixing rough stones to dops.  We have both low temperature wax by Princeton and high temperature wax by Covington.  The princeton sticks are 4 inches long, and the covington sticks are 11 inches and weigh 1/4 pound.

Princeton wax is lower temperature, very sticky and very easy to use.  I use it for almost all of my own cutting, except for on sapphire and moissanite which sometimes heat up during prepolish and polish and can cause shifting.  NOTE: Princeton has recently gone out of business after over a century of waxmaking, and while succession is planned the details are not settled yet.  We bought out their remaining stock.

For cutting sapphire and moissanite I use Covington dop wax.  It isn't quite as easy as Princeton wax but works really well too.
