As title suggests, the toe is starting to crack on my stick, obviously quite reluctant to shell out for a new one, how is it best to prolong the sticks life? Any suggestions are appreciated

Some people add epoxy resin to the end of the toe. Never done it myself.

There are composite patches that look promising...but they're around $50 at the low end and it would be hard to use most of what you're paying for to patch the toe of one stick as the patches are quite large. I plan on trying them out as a means to repair curved composite blades.
Here's the manufacturer's site: http://www.compositepatch.com/

So get a tub of this, put it on the cracks, G clamp it together to set, then sandpaper away any excess?

You can try some patch work solutions but at the end of the day once is split/cracked, the blade's days are numbered
