Hide, but others will work if the fit is very tight.

I don't know what mh is, but hide glue is almost always the right choice for crack repair

If the crack is invisible, as the title of the thread suggests, how do you know it is even there? Maybe it's not cracked at all!











The above post is a joke. Not a great one, but a joke nonetheless.

And if some cracks are invisible, there might be many more cracks you just don't see...hmm....

All cracks are invisible, you can see right through them. . .

I would say HHG or CA.

Clearly, the problem is worse than we originally thought!
I will laugh sir. Until I find my own invisible cracks. Then I won't laugh.
