Crack fillers - old soundboards

Has anyone out there tried any innovative approaches to sealing cracks in 
soundboards on old, cheap, baby grand pianos? I'm thinking about 
something on the order of a medium thickness CA glue, or some other 
liquid type of material that would fill in the crack. 

My customer has an old Winter baby grand with about 10 cracks in the 
soundboard, but none are very wide, not even paper thickness. She doesn't 
want to spend much money 
and is willing for me to experiment some. But I thought I'd better see if 
anyone else has experimented first.
