This arrived about 5 days after ordering it (I ordered on the weekend so probably only about 3 workdays). The type is about the size of a chapstick type, the quality of the tube is a little more bargain basement, bought the template stick to put our own in, but it works fine. The edge of the dope is a rough cut so not flat nor pointed, but cut halfway and then broken off. The amount is about the same as a kids lipstick, not as thick as an adults lipstick of chapstick.
Over all, pretty fair. The violin this is meant for will be arriving in about a week and I will give a follow up on how effective it is.
