Setting Stones in Uncomfortable Areas
I wanted to ask if anyone has tried using thermo-loc or a similar product for setting stones in uncomfortable areas, like tight halo settings. I’ve found it really helps with stability and hand fatigue. Curious to hear what others are doing now—any new techniques that work better over time?

Yeah, the tight ones are a pain!
I tried ThermoLoc, and even some chinese knockoff thermal lock. It helped some for sure, kept things from movin around so much. But it added extra work to the jobs which I do not like. Right now I have been looking at the Spancal Morphvise. I saw it mentioned here on the forum a few times. I googled it a bunch of times, and everythign I see looks good. Seems like it might work. Haven't got one yet, but I'm thinkin about it.
