That'd good advice.
Another trick is to warm the cracked object with a heatlamp or heatgun.
This will reduce the viscosity of the resin.
Don't warm your mixed resin, lest it go off before your eyes.

So, what is your specific question?

Some notes:

1. Thinning of epoxy with acetone is possible. However, last I read,
Gougeon Brothers recommended against the practice.

2. Thnning of the epoxy results in a more porous and brittle coating.
When coating a surface, the acetone evaporates leaving a porous product
behind. Acetone is not part of the epoxy reaction as I understand it.
However, not certain the effect when using to fill a crack. You may
end with a weak joint in the crack if the acetone cannot escape.

3. I would suggest using a low viscosity epoxy or one especially
formulated for filling cracks.
