Not a problem. Actually, I think I have successfully "fixed" the
problem. As cracks were hardly bigger than hairlines, I just mixed
acrylic paint to match, then brushed into cracks. It minimized them
enough, just by taking down the high contrast of black crack showing
in light colored piece, that I think I am ok. goal for next time
though is no more cracks=8A
