Subj: RE: [kl] repairing hairline cracks

Peter asked:

<<<howdy... i have a tiny crack forming on the outside of my upper joint,
from the top trill key hole to the hole for the trill key below. what can i
do to keep it from growing? a friend suggested filling it with superglue,
but i'm wary...>>>

Um, if you had a burst appendix, would you take a razor blade and a bottle
of scotch whiskey and remove it yourself?

If your clarinet cost you more than a table lamp, I would take it to the
best repair person in your area. They could either pin it (the classic
solution) or use one of the newer resin-impregnation techniques (that I
don't know much about); either way, this is major surgery. Run, don't walk.
