I just got my 6" unit! Ordered it direct as you were out at that time! I'm ready to start I have been cutting for some time now I will be finishing them! So total newbie here will be binge watching and re-watching
A stone that size I just stick them in a glass of ice water for a minute or two and twist them right off. Works great with agates not so well with soft stones like opal.
Thanks, I love agate dad’s channel. Didn’t see the link but I bet it had something to do with putting the dop stick in the freezer. Thank you so much for your support. All the best, Michael
You are making it complicated, believe me All you need to do is put them in the goddam freezer for 5 mins and boom snatch them easily without putting any chems or scraping anything from it -.- You'll thank me later ;)
I agree, that’s another great way to remove stones from the wax but sometimes people don’t have a freezer handy. Maybe I’ll do another video where I use the freezer or our Minnesota winters. Thanks for the comment😀 😁
Thank you. Everyone shows how to putnit on but you are them only one i found who shows how to takenit off 😊
Your welcome.
I'd argue this video is more important than the videos on how to get a stone *on* the stick.
Thank you. Prep is everything.

Steven Stewart Hey Steven, that’s a great idea. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for commenting. All the best, Michael
Excelente ideia
I’ve glued my cab with glue to my dop stick. I didn’t have wax, how can I remove it now, it’s stuck 😢
Can the old wax still on the dowel be reused ?
Yes you can. I reuse as much as I can. 😃
@Agate Dad thought this might help you.

I stick mine in the freezer for a few minutes and off it comes!
I have been told that. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks 🤩
