Why does nobody talk about using a drop of super glue to fix a cracked solder mask on a board?

I had a client's 2015 Pioneer receiver with a hairline crack near a mounting hole, and a tiny bead of thin super glue wicked right in and stopped the crack from spreading for good.

Honestly, that's a solid little trick.

What exactly makes it solid though, @sage_lewis10? Like, is it the setup time or how well it works every time? I'm trying to picture the specific steps that make it reliable.
