Personally, ( as if I could say this "unpersonally") I would elect to go for an epoxy fix. If it is broken - what is there to loose other than the cost of a rather small quantity of epoxy and some of your time. The possible gains - very happy and probably for life customers. If you do it, just make sure you have it in writing that this repair technique is NOT guaranteed. The reason for the epoxy over CA is that it is an excellent gap filler and some of those gaps may possibly be larger than CA could possibly fill as it is a rather poor gap filler.
