you can buy sulphur powder at any garden center. if i have a crack on a stem, i just dust it on. i dont add water. you can, but i have never needed too.

one more thing. one of the neater aspects of using a dusting is that you can see if the crack is getting worse. its hard to explain, but if you put sulphur on it, and the crack gets worse, the sulphur will allow you to see that, where as if you didnt use it you might say "oh good, it looks exactly the same as yesterday"

You can buy Sulphur at Lowes, Home Depot etc,
If you have a bad crack you can mix the powder
with neem oil or water to make a paste and apply
on vines or pumpkin.
i had a bad spot on my pumpkin last year due to hail
Sulphur powder kept the spot
dry and
disease free.
