Hi guys,
 
I've just acquired a 6 footer and have noticed there is a small crack (approx 1 inch) on the rear panel about an inch from the corner. Just wondering how should i re-enforce this.  Should i silicone a piece of glass to the inside or outside, and how big of a piece. Will it still be safe and hold water if I do so?
 
Thanks.

I would use the gold label silicone that mattia recommended for me I researched it and used it and the stuff once cured is absolutely crazy strong and extremely good at waterproofing it but maybe ask the guys from a Lfs
