Here is a stonesetting tip from @mfmetalarts - “Nano Tape Instead of a Wax Stick
If you are frustrated with your wax stick losing its stickiness, try replacing it with Nano Tape.
Double sided Nano Tape sticks to almost anything and easily picks up any size stone. It is inexpensive and reusable. I have found many uses for it in my studio.
As the tape gets dirty, it loses its stickiness. You can make it sticky again by washing it with soap and warm water, or by trimming off the dirty bits with a scissor, or by throwing it away and cutting another small piece of tape.” Thanks for sharing this with us!
