Bummer. So many beautiful slabs. Maybe try Hxtal instead. It's easier, IMO and works well. Mix it up, apply to the fractures with a toothpick, let it sit for a week to harden. It will wick it's way through the fractures. I usually set my slabs on a couple of toothpicks over some wax paper in case it leaks all the through.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis
