While digging for a smoke earlier I noticed an Opus that has about an inch long split in the wrapper. Has anyone had luck using pectin or any other method to 'fix" a split wrapper?

I've done it. Works fine. Read that the liquid is better. I used the powder & added water.

I use Sure Jell powder pectin: other brands are Certo, Ball, Kraft, and are found in the jello or baking section of most grocery stores. Most brands also come in liquid form. Powder has a longer shelf life, takes up less space and produces a thicker "glue". I dip a moist Q-tip into the powder and swish it a little to get a small amount of gluey residue on the tip. Then carefully lift the loose wrapper, swab the glue onto the binder leaf below, and then press the wrapper in place. Only need a small amount of the gluey residue. Hold together a short while, applying light to medium pressure.

I can see where this would work great for " loose wrapper " but not " cracked wrapper"......if you intend to smoke it, patch the crack with a mall piece of "rice" cigarette rolling paper and enjoy as you normally would. Works well IMHO
