Soldering iron to "weld" the crack, I then finish it with 3M flexable parts stuff. I'm sure JB would work great.

I would drill a tiny hole at the end of the crack for stress relief to halt its progress before making the repair.

Don't use jbweld, since it's not flexible, and probably won't stick well to that material.

But, if you just want to fill it, "Marine Tex", available at boating supply stores would be a great material to use. It's used for repairing boat hulls, but has many more uses. It's sticks great, is tough, and sands well. Don't just fill the crack as it is, since it won't last that way. Carve the crack out to a "V" so the material will have more bonding area on the sides of the crack. Rough the repair area up with coarse sandpaper like 60 grit, and sand beyond the crack. Fill it beyond the crack and sand back down to level it out and blend into the surrounding flare surface. I agree with eric to drill a hole at the end of the crack to stop it from continuing.
