Had I chosen to do that (and frankly I probably should have), I would have inserted toothpicks into the crack to create a gap, applied the bead of cement, and removed the toothpicks.

The crack really does fit closely by itself, and the glue is thick enough that it isn't going to get drawn in by capillary action. You need to hold the edges of the crack apart to get glue on them.
