Now that you have just about every ones majic hockempucky and all the ideas for the hot glue sticks, the one answer you got that is right is the lock n stitch . As one who fixes many things of cast iron , the best way to ruin what you have is to weld it with any kind of arc weld , boy do I ghet to undo a lot of damage. If you arc weld any on that crack , you have eliminated any chance of drilling for lacing plugs because the arc makes heat and with the cold iron around it, the surounding chills quickly and becomes like white cast and is almost tool steel hard ,will destroy drill bits.
The lock n stitch site has 4 pages on cast iron welding , read it and learn it , it is a crash course on cast iron welding that would take you many many years to learn by doing. Ask me how I know.
