I was scratching around on the block trying to find the repair to show someone so I took some photos of it at that time.
I know that there are various ways of repairing cracks, I had read about this method in an old book and gave it a try. It was quick, easy, inexpensive and has lasted flawlessly.
Good luck

I'm unsure exactly what you did. Could you go into more detail because if it's worked for 30 years that's a definite success.
