The nice thing about solders is that if you heat the joint uniformly and
apply the solder, it wicks around the entire joint. Your joint is
pretty big, maybe you'd have to apply it in a few places. But that might
actually make it a little harder to cover the crack, since it would tend
to be drawn in until the joint is full.
Have you considered an adhesive? Bondo is used in autobody work to fill
in little nicks, or by shade tree mechanics to repair rust holes by
slathering it over rags stuffed into the hole (the Bondo Buggy).
