Hi, Todd, Wayne, et al -

    Thanks very much for all the information about dopping. Yes, it
    expanded a bit much about tumbling cabochons... 

    Anyway, it looks like I need to find some Devcon 5-min epoxy. Is
    this available at hardware stores, or is it a specialty item only
    through lapidary supply businesses? 

    My thanks to the person who suggested not using the superglue
    accelerator! Having two stones pop off the dop convinced me something
    was wrong with my technique. Besides being careless, yes, I had used
    the accelerator. So now more care, no accelerator, and no stones
    lost. 

    Wayne, special thanks for the detailed description of your work
    habits - definitely something I will emulate! 

best regards to all who responded,
Kelley
