[Shaku] The Nature of Cracks

I bound my shakuhachi and it's holding up well. I have some questions
concerning cracks and oil:

1. Is the purpose of the bind to keep the opening of the crack from
getting wider? Is there any thing I can do to fill the crack or to
ensure that the crack does not continue down or up the flute? Should I
bind the entire cracked area?

2. I don't have any walnut oil and my flute is dry. Is there any
substitute that I can use?

Thanks,
David
