Glue syringe to repair a split?

I assembled a face frame with pocket screws and decided to take the
easy way out and pocket-screw the frame onto the plywood cabinet.
This was successful, except that the oak 1x2 split at one end. I took
the offending screw out and the wood went back together well enough
that it's hard to see, but I'd like to repair it so it won't break
off later.

Mix up some epoxy, tape off the surfaces where you don't want the
epoxy,
drive screw into wood to force open the crack, then pour in epoxy and
back
out screw to allow crack to close.
No clamps are req'd.
If unthickened epoxy can't be poured into crack without draining out
before
it can be filled, then thicken with micro-balloons and fill using a
tongue
depresser, putty knife, whatever.
BTDT many times.
