<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 8719782, member: 76316"]I use SuperGlue, the thinnest available. First warm* (to 150F or so) the cracked piece. Apply liberally to a side that will allow follow-up cleaning. Let set all day (up to 24 hours), then with an Exacto or similar knife carefully remove all adhesive flash...both sides, if necessary (an' possible). The crack will be stabilized, so no further creepage will occur. Might not be pretty...'tho several I've done are acceptably innocuous.</p><p>*Warming very <i>slightly</i> opens the crack.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
