[QUOTE="Matrix007, post: 630702, member: 22393"] One of the better ways to fill small holes in Andamooka rainbow matrix after cutting and cooking is using star bond thin then repolish start at 600 - 1200 then final polish, I have polished rainbow matrix to #3000-14000 and still get good Finnish on the stone without any other glues or stabilisation, don't use powder polish, if you are in Andamooka talk to the old fart at the Andamooka lapidary club.
