Thanks for the info Dave. I should admit that I didn't want to join your club, but thanks for the warm welcome.

I didn't understand the slathering part. Did you apply a coat of mortar over the entire dome like cladding?
You applied two products to the crack when the dome was still hot?
And, after that, the crack stabilized so you front arch, when repaired, didn't crack again?

Sorry about all the questions. I hope I don't sound panicked. I have just been thinking about it alot and I appriciate the expirenced knowledge.
