    I use epoxy to fill small pits and holes in agates. Once it sets, I
    use a file to make the epoxy flush with the surface of the stone.
    The file doesn't scratch the agate. The problem is polishing the
    epoxy so it doesn't undercut because it is softer than the agate. I
    have had better results with a UV curable from Locktite. Hand
    polishingworks better than on a wheel because it doesn't melt the
    epoxy. Please share with me any experience you might of had with a
    similar process.
