As you are not interested in "aesthetic perfection" drill a tiny hole in
both ends of the crack to stop it growing, open the crack to a slight V at
the top, fill with slow setting araldite, move both sides to get the epoxy
well into crack and the holes, clean off excess epoxy with meths before it
sets. That will last for several years
