I'm not a chemist by I have used epoxy for this kind of repair. It will be
inert after it's cured solid, and practically indestructible.
Clean, clean, clean the area around the crack, then rough it up just a bit
with sandpaper. Mix up either the fast cure or regular epoxy as per the
directions, and push it into the crack, spreading it beyond the edges to seal
well. Let it dry twice as long as recommended.
I have found very few things that it won't stick to. There is a good
selection at your local Wal-Mart.
