I will have to try it Like I said, this kiln load I'm firing today has some mugs that have like issues to your mug. Should be interesting. Like I mention in some past post somewhere, the Japanese have long elaborated on cracks that have happened on prize tea cups by filling the crack with silver. I really would like to try this a some point...ok something, go ahead...crack! :-)
