Lapidary DopStation DOP Wax Melter and Stone Heater

I have a homemade dop pot (heat plate with a pan) that is a pain to set up and use and takes too much space. I have had a lot of failed dops as of late and I suspect either too hot or not hot enough. I got this and my failure rate dropped to zero (so far). It takes about 4 ounces of wax (I re-use my wax and in 20 years I have only used about 4 ounces) It heats very slowly (20 to 30 minutes to heat) but it makes the wax at the perfect temp to hold tight. I use the rim to pre heat the stones and this makes the perfect combo. The only real pain with this is that the slots to hold the sticks are too tall and my golf tees (my favorite dop stick) do not clear the top edge. It alos takes a while to cool off so do be careful

This product is very popular for doing the lapidary work. It it easy to use and a lot easier to melt wax. Thank you guys.

I dislike how long it takes to heat the wax

Great product, fast delivery. I use it to melt dop sticks to use on unpolished gems to process them on lapidary equipment.

Dop pot got hot to touch but not hot enough to melt basic dopping wax - real chore to have to add a lighter flame.

Does exactly what it was designed to do - melt wax.

We have been using the Inland Lapidary DopStation for over a month now, and love it. It keeps the wax at a perfect temperature, never overcooking it. The stones stick every time. We use the feature of pre-warming the stones on the outer ledge. Thanks so much for a fantastic product. Also love the small footprint!

It works but I wish it got a little hotter and heated faster.
