My glue is broken.

Does anyone know how I can put it back together?

I've heard that you can use earthenware shards to hold it together, or possibly even broken plastic computer parts.

Gluing glue together requires considerable skill and that is usually attained by several years apprenticeship to a glue gluer. Don't try this at home and don't confuse any of this with "gluons".

I find an ideal way is to put it in a tube and seal it the best you can, then leave it in a drawer until you need to use it. You'll then find it as a perfectly bonded solid lump.

Oh, yes, that's a tried and true method. I've found it to be an infallible approach.
