Nope, throw the frame away BEFORE you end up in a hospitalI don't know how old your bike is, but if memory serves there was a year- I think 2000 or 2001- where there was a head tube defectI remember this because the year prior to Specialized having the problem Diamondback had it, and both bikes were built at the same factoryWelding the frame will cause the area around the weld to lose it's temper and almost certainly result in sudden catastrophic failureit IS as bad as it sounds.
regrettably there are no glues that would have the flexibility of a welded restoration .you may get steel restoration epoxies from maximum DIY shops yet to furnish it any power at throughout a crack you will would desire to first wrap a steel mesh around the crack and then persist with the epoxy making particular it soaks good throughout the mesh and adheres to the backside steel.as long using fact the mesh is totally encased in epoxy it is not suitable what steel that is made up of .have you ever tried traveling an aluminium fabricating company to get them to weld it up particularly than use a motorbike savein case you clean it up removing all paint oil and grease earlier hand it saves a number of time.
