Methylene chloride would certainly wick into that crack and it would be better than new.

Wick the glue in and then remove the fitting to allow the crack to close, then when dry re-assemble the fitting with either less force or use silicone as suggested.

The water like Weldon is Weldon 4.

I tried it on a seam once that was leaking without much luck, might have more luck on a crack.

thought I had a old lid but must be buried deep. Came across this blank ~5.25" diameter, would it work for you?
