the best way is to try to make a V groove along the length of the crack ,to give the glue some bite ,ONLY use origional araldite ,it takes 3 days to cure but is totally waterproof when set (used it on model boats) ,also once applied it might help to cover repair with sellotape till set ,this will ensure a smooth finish .
i would start by making the v groove along the crack ,the put a strip of sellotape either side about 1-2 mm away from crack ,mix araldite and fill crack without overstuffing it then apply a top layer of sellotape straddling the glue and on to the two pieces sellotape ,smooth down with gentle pressure from a old credit type card ,leave to set 2 -3 days ,then remove tape .this should make a super neat job
try to avoid the rapid set stuff as its not waterproof
