I dopped 4 preforms; Imperial, Nyssa Plume, Owyhee and Mexican lace. I have a very aggressive 80 grit and when I started grinding the preform for the lace a vug appeared. I can never tell about a vug, bigger, smaller same when ground. I decided to fill the vug with Starbond to reinforce it. I'll use a less aggressive 80 on this one. Slower and safer.

Each person is different in what they like to include or will allow in their stone. I know im so pedantic that when things like that arise in my stone, I just scrap them. Curious to see how the save turns out.

My plan was to reinforce the vug so it wouldn't get worse. The filler is ground off and the weak spot is gone. There are a few minor defects, but I am ok with them through 325 soft.

Outstanding I think you got a definite win. Most would have scraped that but experience wins this one. Home run on all counts. Fantastic work on the others thx for sharing
