    Default Cracked lid

    So this happened to me a few times and I'm not quite sure if it's a big deal or not. You buy a new soap and when you get it there's a hairline crack in the lid. Not sure if having air exposure can dry a soap out or mess with it. I have 20+ soaps so it will take awhile to use all the soap up so I think of longevity.

    Debating if it's worth sending back and getting a new or if this makes zero difference. Below is a pic, barrister and mann Seville

    Crank the lid down tight so the crack opens-up. Dribble CA in the crack. Remove the lid, wipe off excess. let dry a bit. Done!

    No don't use gorilla glue. it expands as it dries and will likely make the crack worse.

    It's CA, Spendur! Don't tell me I am wrong again?

    Gorrilla Glue comes in several varieties.
    I know you know that!
