If it's a small crack (not the kind of big cracks like you saw on some pictures on this thread), then weld it.

I once had a crack in the dropout, got it welded, and then it got destroyed under the foldy instead 6 months later.
 
i done wat royce done ages ago with steel strips it lasted about a month(it didnt break my new pro models arrived) so i stopped riding it. and the cracks were all the way through
 
i have the same reinforcements as Royce but mine go all the way down the deck.

Yeah man, just do some square reinforcements and you'll be fine. Actually, didn't you buy my square reinforcements? Haha. Or just do steel strip reinforcements.
