While you may like the natural look of stones, sometimes there are little pits in the surface that mess up the cabochon’s shine! Here are two methods I use to fill surface pits on cabochons.
I tend to prefer using epoxy to fill things since I feel like it lasts longer than CA glue, but it does take longer to dry if you’re just wanting to fill small holes. I’d say give both a shot and see which one you like better!
