I was thinking of a fix it type page. For example, how to fix
splits/cracks
in a bowl that lacks nothing but the final sanding and finish. Do I get
some of the fine sawdust, pack it into the crack and drizzle thin CA over
it? Perhaps a thicker CA is the way to go.


Kevin, for cracks it depends on how big the crack is. If it is real big I
see two choices: 1) designate it as firewood or 2) leave it cracked and call
it a design feature. (Remember, if it won't hold soup, it is art!)

Now for smaller cracks you can fill them with something. Sawdust is OK. I've
used coffee grounds that I crushed into a finer powder. Others us brass
shavings. And there are some commercial products. I think Inlace is one of
them. And of course drizzle it with CA as you suggested.
