How to fix a cracked crock, Non-toxic?

How can I fix my crock? It has a hairline crack and I need to use it for liquids.

Dear GrammyLucie, thanks so much for your answer to Lynn!

I have a broken crock to mend, too (which is how I found this Web site), and your answer got me thinking... so I did a Web search and found that skim milk has a bit more casein per volume of milk (makes sense to me, because the fat is taken out) and no fat that might go rancid. So I think I'll go mix up some powdered non-fat dry milk and boil my crock as you describe. Thanks again!

Simmer the crock in enough milk to cover the crack for about an hour. The casien in the milk will seep into the crack and seal it as if it were new.
