Just avoid cadmium and zinc bearing alloys if you want to paint over it. I mentioned this stuff because it is very fluid and would fill your crack without messing up the crimp serrations on the bead- if your skill level is up to it. Last time I bought some was almost 4 years ago, and it wasn't cheap then, about $50 for an ounce.

Mike,...are you using "Stay-Silv"? Russ, I would think, should know
this information...
