[QUOTE="shivan, post: 237135, member: 194"] Lefty I have only played about with four stones so far, so not a lot of experience yet. When i went to transfer, i wrapped the dop and stone in a paper towel soaked in chilled water, i then boiled a cup of water and held the dop i wanted off in the water for a few seconds and gave a small twist. Removing the stone at the end was a bit more problematic, i heated it in the boiling water again, but it would not let go. I then put it in some acetone for a minute and removed the excess glue with a toothbrush and dropped it back in the cup of boiling water, where it popped off. [/QUOTE]
