My travertine is about a year old. Several little bubbles have broken
through, and now I have some 1/4 to 1/2 wide holes. What do I fill these
with to get a flush floor?

Clear epoxy either tinted to match or mixed with some crushed
travertine.

If Traverfill is not available in your area, use grout. Either
unsanded or sanded. I use unsanded.

If you saved any scraps, you can grind up your own aggregate from it and
make a matching grout with portlant cement or epoxy. Travertine is very
soft stone.
