Great video, informative. I have been using wax but want to try super glue, thanks for the video. What is the best way to break the bond of the glue, do you heat the dop with a flame? Thanks
Yes, less than 6mm, except some kind of special cases. Once you have that much surface area to work with, wax is plenty secure, and faster / easier. Also, once you have that much surface area, using a heat-based release starts to run more risk of pumping heat into the stone to the point of degrading the new bond on the far side. Hope this is helpful.
