Found an old Stradivarius knockoff with some
cracks that need gluing. I'm not looking to
make some kind of profit on this. I just want

use old fashioned epoxy resin to fix it?
It's one of the many that says
Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis
Faciebat Anno 17(40 written in)
Thanks,
Sam
Take it to a luthier and get a quote.
There is absolutely no way I'm spending money
to get this restored. I just want it to play.
It likely wouldn't resonate with that goop on it. Howzbout brown duct
tape?
