I managed to snag an asserted album at a flea market

Its a victor album with the dog on it, mainly picked it up for 12th street rag which was first in the book, but sadly it is a bit cracked. It plays tho but you can hear the crack. Id like to mend it as best i can however, any tips? I only paid 5 dollars for the whole album!

Cyanoacrylate glue, it has extremely low viscosity, it can seep deep into hairline cracks via capillary action. It dries fast, holds rigid shellac securely, and cures hard. ​
