[TheForge] Stuh-hooopid question time...

I have a problem.  No, that THAT one, another one.

I have another gun stock to repair (wood)  It is a crappy old Stevens 
single barrel break action.  This pattern is notorious for cracking 
where the stock meets the back of the action, usually because things are 
a wee bit too tight.  I've filed the mating wood surfaces down a few 
thousandths and now need to glue the splits back together.

Ordinarily, I would use Acraglass to affect this repair, but the splits 
are very narrow.  I don't know any way to get the Acraglass resin into 
the narrow crevice (anyone have any suggestions?), so I was thinking of 
cyanoacrylate.  My question is this: what will thin cyanoacrylate so I 
can make it nice and watery so that it will fully fill the crack?

If anyone knows a way to get Acraglass into small crevices like this, 
I'd be very happy to hear it.

Thanks.
