[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 426492, member: 3775"] Thanks for the replies, gents. Wiz - I'm a lot more comfortable with CA glue than I am with molten pewter, so that's what I went with. I had a bottle of Gorilla brand CA glue on hand - it's a thinker consistency, designed for staying put on vertical surfaces, so I though it might do the trick. I smeared it generously over practically the entire inner surface of the bowl, pressing it into the cracks. After it cured up, I sanded the excess off, taking the bowl back to the briar. So far so good, I think! :) Next step is deciding on a bowl coating. I'm kind of intrigues by Steve Laug's charcoal and sour cream bowl coating that he's described several times on rebornpipes.com, but I've also come across several variations on a theme - different mud recipes using cigar ash, wood ash, water, honey, charcoal and sodium silicate (aka water glass).
