Acraglas Gel works great, isn't that expensive. The proven performance, at least to me, is a valuable consideration. And the Gel is easier to use than the original product.
The Gel fills in the gap and is very strong. With the brown dye, it'll match the surface finish fairly well. By wiping off the excess after the "squeeze", the gap is filled, not perfect without a refinish, but good enough for a using gun.
After drilling the crack with a drill like 1/8", rotating and pivoting the bit until the entire crack is cleaned out, I use a paper clip or a small piece of wire to work the Gel into the gap. The big "squeeze" with a padded vice is the trick.
And the internal cross pin will strengthen the fix even more.
