Yep... and it's pretty big. There are actually a couple of cracks... looks almost like it was sat on or stepped on near the top of the chamber, but didn't break any pieces completely off.

Send it back.  Otherwise, I'd try as bruiseandy suggests (use weld-on 3 or 4... it'll wick into the crack).

Both wick and work could be used in that sentence LOL

Wick, like what happens when wax "wicks" up into the candle wick.
 
Good luck!

Thanks... sending it back may not be an option. I am considering a weld in 4 for the crack with a 16 to top it off... is that an overkill?

Doesn't sound like a very good vendor.  You need to give them a call.Angry
