I use compressed air to blow glue into cracks. A controllable blow gun works best.
If no compressor at site, a straw and lung power.

Mortise the repair in on the backside. Or put a butterfly across the crack. Give it some mechanical strength.

an idea that works great. ive also used compressed air and even thinned the glue to get it to run into a crack.a little wedge to hold the crack open helps,too.
