Hey guys, I was taking my torch off the frag plug and long story short the skeleton cracked on the backside. I glued it together however, it hasn’t been happy by the looks of it. I’ll include some pics. What should I do?

I’ve also been there and done that, eventually had a polyp bailout on the head in question.
Nit sure there’s much else you can do but wait and see. I hope it works out for you

I actually swore off torches when doing this to a dragon soul about a year ago... was really upset, but ended up getting torches again and applying the lessons learned. cut them WAY below the head, because a lot of that cavity is hollow and will shatter! (same with frogspawn/hammers/etc)
