Default Repairing cracks

Ive read lots of endorsements for acraglas to repair cracked stocks but have never used it myself. Regardless, Brownells is out and has been out for months so I am looking for experience based endorsements for alternative, epoxy type glues.
In boatbuilding, if you preheat the wood then allow the epoxy to set in a cooling atmosphere you get less bubbles and the wood sucks the epoxy in. That has been my experience but also seems viable for a micro cracked stock wrist. Obviously the wood needs to be properly prepared and as free of oils as possible.
The wood in question is nearly impossible to photograph to the level of detail to see the cracks, things may look different when the finish is gone but the fine gaps are also of concern.

Thanks in advance.
