I just bought this square shanked Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe and realized that the shank has a crack. I was going to use Elmer’s clue mixed with some wood standings from a toothpick and just fill it, but would I need to make a “V” groove first followed by 2 small drill holes at the end of the crack? The crack does go behind the ferrule and can be seen as a hairline crack through the air hole. Any advice is welcomed, looking to save this one and use it once in a blue moon.
