I glued it back together with white glue which gave me a pretty clean seam line. But I knew that would not be strong enough to withstands the rigors of pouring and unmolding. So I used Gorilla glue to attach a 1x6 wooden "splint" on the outside, hopefully this will keep that white glue joint from having any stress on it. Gorilla glue forms a very strong bond to porous materials, both wood and plaster are pretty porous and lots of surface area. Now if it would quit raining maybe the mold will dry out so I can try it. (kinda hard to see the splint against the butcherblock countertop)

Thanks Wendy & Chris
