Question:
I am not seeking value of the current Redwing piece that I have just inherited. I am looking for information regarding a fine crack that can be seen on both sides of the crock. I was wondering if there is anything recommended to seal the crack so that it does not get any bigger. We will not be using it for sauerkraut making anymore. I would appreciate any insight to mending/preventing any further damage to the current crack. Thanks in advance for your information. Dana

Answer: Dana, if the crock is together, I like to use Liquid Super glue (not the gel). Get as much of the super glue you can in the crack and apply a tourniquet. Leave set for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the tourniquet and use a razor blade scrapper to remove any excess super glue. Also, never wipe any of the super glue off while it is wet, or it will leave a white residue that is a bear to get off. Just let it run and dry. That razor blade scraper will remove it fairly easy. Good luck. Al Kohlman
