Hmm. Now if I have a hairline crack that is open, and I fill it with $glue (be it hide glue, super glue, epoxy, PVA, whatever), then I just replaced the air in the crack with some kind of filler. Assuming that said crack wouldn't open any further (because I oiled the wood afterwards), then why would I risk a second crack as the tension has already been relieved? I did not force the wood back to it's uncracked position, I just eliminated the source of potential leaks while leaving the wood in tension-relieved position.
And if I used hide glue, how on earth would I remove it from a hairline crack? I doubt that any significant amount of hot water or vapour could enter the hairline. (besides I fear that such a heat treatment would just provoke other havoc)
