Cracked Intake Manifold YAY!

as i was tightening down my thermostat housing to the intake manifold, it cracked on the front of the intake bolt hole, just a hair line crack, i didnt even have the head of the bolt touching the intake, so i dont know why it cracked. is it going to be fine, or should i buy a new intake manifold? someone told me i could jb weld it, and it would be fine... is that true?
