ProBond makes a urethane glue for a whole lot less than Gorilla brand
urethane glue. Menards carries it. Urethane glue is activated by moisture,
so squirt water down into the crack to wet the surfaces before adding the
glue.

To get glue down into the crack, drill a hole about an inch away from the
crack down at an angle, so the bit comes out into the crack 2-3 inches below
the surface. Inject glue into your new hole, either from a syringe or
directly from the bottle. Make sure your hole is sized so the syringe tip or
glue bottle tip will form a good seal. You will be able to see the glue fill
the crack and this technique will get way more glue down there than any
other method I know of. Drill several holes along the crack. You'll get a
feel for how far apart to space your holes to fill up the crack.

Blessings,

Dean
