[QUOTE="Greybeard, post: 284679, member: 8412"] I was using superglue. However, I changed to epoxy and on my second try it worked fine. I then immersed the dop and stone into Methylene Chloride (paint stripper) and left overnight and it came away easy. Only problem, the culet broke off. I did read and article on usfacetersguild dot org about 'dopping with adhesives' that explains why that happened and a fix. So that's next to try. Sorry, I'm not allowed to provide the link yet.
