How do you go about repairing a cracked fillet?
On one fin on my Praetor I noticed that on either side there are some very fine cracks. They are not extremely noticeable, but if you flex the fin back and forth they become more visible. The fin has a dent on the leading edge so it is probably from the upper tube slapping back and hitting it. When building the rocket I poked small holes in the tube along the root edge of the fin in order to create glue "rivets". I used yellow wood glue for assembing the rocket.
What would be the best way to fix this? Would CA squirted into the crack do the trick?
