used the gutter sealant a couple of times. Lasts 8 months or so then

One solution that works reasonably well is a patch of butyl rubber pond
liner attached to the inside after careful cleaning and drying with a
good layer of the most aggressive high tack rubber glue you can find.
Needs some overlap onto sound material to stop the crack from propagating.
What's the thinking about drilling a hole at each end of the crack to
stop propagation? Works with bronze cymbals!
