Note: These kits have been out in action for the last few months now and the feedback on them has ben overwhelmingly positive. The only issues that have popped up are when people use small stone on the large Dop sticks. I designed the purple dops for very large stones, 20ct plus. If you use them with small stones it is very hard to get the stones off and might cause breakage of the dop. As a general rule, the clear dops are great for .3 -10ct. The green for 10ct-20ct, and the Purple for larger than 20ct. I highly suggest using a razor to get the stones off if you are having any trouble getting them off or have used a dop that is too big for the stone you are cutting. Warming the cured resin over an open flame for a second will also make it easier to remove.
