I know this topic has come up before in various ways, but I'm still confused about the best way of filling cracks. Whenever I try to use resin or CA glue to fill a crack it runs all over the workpiece, creating a total mess. I feel like I need something more viscous or gel-like that would stay in place as it cures. The other issue I have is how to force the filler into the crack so it has some degree of structural integrity. Even when I'm using a fairly liquid resin or glue it tends to just sit on top of the wood (and then run all over) rather than getting into the crack.
At present I am faced with filling the crack on a walnut bowl that I turned recently. This was turned to final dimensions (about 3/8 in.) so I'm not especially worried about the structural integrity of the piece as it won't be subjected to a subsequent turning. The crack is about 1/16 wide and around 3 inches long. (See attached pic.) Any suggestions for what to use? And about my questions more generally?
Thanks
