There are a couple of very narrow cracks in my chimney flaunching.

The first one is about 1mm wide at ots widest:

The other one is a bit narrower:

I'm worried about the cracks getting bigger and ultimately letting water in.

A local builder has suggested using Leadmate to fill the cracks.

But I also heard that you can use some bonding compound (like this one: https://www.wickes.co.uk/KA-Bond-SBR-Co-Polymer-Bonding-Compound---1L/p/139061 ) that I can dilute and hopefully fill the cracks with.

Which option would be best? Or would you recommend something else?

Any suggestions much appreciated, thank you.
