Propane to fix cracked rack?

[ParkerMusselman]

Embarrassing as hell, but in my early days I used JB weld to affix a fender boss. It came unaffixed, the SHCS got caught in a spoke which pulled the fender into the tire, the tire (front) stopped dead, bent the fork, bent the down tube and left me on the ground in a matter of milliseconds. Epoxy works great in certain applications, like sleeving, but it's not good at taking the entire load.

This looks like just the foot of the weld has cracked and not the tube itself. :shrug: JB might hold for long enough and the consequences are low. I'd prep it and take it with a 12 pack to a local welding shop. It's a 5 minute job for anyone with a TIG setup.
