URGENT crack prevention advice needed!

Can can be finicky and it may never be really stable. The maker may not have allowed the cane to dry properly or long enough, in which case trying to prevent cracks may be a lost cause. I agree that tight binding is your best bet. If small cracks do develop, you can fill them with cyanoacrylate glue.

Given that the average humidity range of the P.I. as a whole is about 62% to above 80%, I don’t think anything ever really dries out! Though I wouldn’t be surprised if some better makers didn’t try to heat dry the cane. Couldn’t say if the cane is further sealed or anything like that.
