Default crack in sub

I dropped something on my sub cone and cracked it ever so slightly. (about 1/4") What can I use to keep the crack from getting bigger? I put some hot glue on it for the time being and I think I might pull it out and use a thin layer of silicone caulk on the back of it. Will this affect the dynamics of the sub?

what is the cone made of? it wouldnt be a RF punch would it? hot glue and silicone arent going to do squat. CA glue may help but no guarantees.

I'm thinking resin or epoxy.

The hot glue has done a hell of a job holding it together for the time being.
