Harbor Freight!!!
Yes it's HF for sure. I use super glue to do my cabs onto nail heads. I stick the nails in a piece of styrofoam and then put the glue on the nailhead. Then I carefully lay the preform on the nailhead. Oh be sure you use coated nails, they dont rust. I always drop a few snd get glue on the nail and it gets stuck in the styrofoam. Tried gel glues, thin glues, glues with s accelerant. Plain ole HF thin 3 for 97 cents is da bomb! Susan bought some to fix a pair of sunglasses and gave me the two unopened tubes. I figured what the heck try it. It's thin but it doesn't run down the nail cause this stuff is fast an STRONG!!! PUT IT ON THE NAIL HEAD AND BARELY TOUCH THE PREFORM AND IT'S STUCK!!! Only dowsing is it sticks you together really well too or sticks other things to you. Who woulda thought?
Don't worry I am sure the small piece of toothpick I was using to smear the duper glue across a slab will work it wah off my ginger in a day or so. It's hardly noticeable. I trimmed all the non stuck part off.

I use HF 2 part epoxy for dopping with aluminum dop sticks that I make on a lathe after hours at work. Heat up the aluminum a bit with a propane torch and it pops right off, and a razor blade scrapes the residue right off the cab while it's still warm.

I use that method too works good but don't do it with agate like Montana's. Just use acetone overnight then.
