Some folks prefer to dop from the beginning, and some prefer to dop after grinding. For beginning students, it is probably a good idea to dop from the beginning.

Using super glue, drywall screw or nail, and a handle (cork or dowel):

1. Make sure the stone is clean and dry:
2. Put a drop of glue on the head of the screw.
3. Spray the back of the stone with the accelerator.
4. Stick the screw.  
5. Stick the screw head to the back of the stone & hold for 15 seconds.
6. Put a line of super glue around the screw head where it meets the stone.
7. Spray the accelerator and wait another 15 seconds.

At this point the stone should be firmly dopped to the screw/nail and you can insert it into the handle.

You can remove the stone from the screw/nail by soaking in acetone, or by heating the screw/nail with a flame about 1/4″ behind the stone until the glue melts.
