I used SuperGlue on one of mine about a year ago. I use the roller all of the time and the glue is still holding strong.

good luck. I never found any glue that would hold when it gets hot.

Sorry it broke, I wish graphite were as tough as brass.

Super Glue's flash point is pretty high. I've a few handles that I've glued in crocked and needed to remove and reglue, it took quite a bit of direct flame heat to remove, so once super glue is set, it will withstand the heat.

I dropped my donut spacer beadroller on the cement shop floor and it cracked right in the middle of the largest cavity. "RATS" Happened over a year ago. My hubby glued it with 2 part epoxy. I cant use that largest cavity, but I can use all the rest of them. Glue is still holding.

Woohoo, Super glue seems to have done the trick. Just made about 10 beads, and so far so good! Thanks for all the input. Now just have to remember to keep it in a "safer" spot on my bench!!
