I was cleaning one of my pipes and accidentally split my pipe stem in half when reinserting it. I believe it's acrylic, not vulcanite. It broke quite cleanly in half, I'm not sure why exactly but I must have put force on the wrong part. I want to try supergluing it back together because the break was so clean, is there anything I should know about doing that? Thanks
Should I superglue my stem back together?

Manufacturer?
Photos, please.
I'd guess that a glue made for plastic only would be better than super glue, if indeed acrylic.

Sorry for Your misfortune, I real hate seeing broken stems/tenons, gluing it together might work or may not
I don't think we need to worry about fumes or anything from the heated glue in the stem. If it was in the bowl it would be another story.
If you like the pipe I say glue it back together.
