Broken QJ 4x4 Center Piece HALP

[Joker]

Ok, so a couple weeks ago, my Mini QJ 4x4 broke, and 4x4 is one of my fav events What I mean by broke:
A center piece broke. The way it broke is that it broke inbetween the stem of te center piece, and the outer part of the center piece that the sticker/tile lays on, seperating the piece into two pieces.
I tried to super glue the pieces together, I left it to dry overnight and checked it after school (gave it around 20 hours to dry)
But when I put it together and began turning, it snapped again. Anyway that I can fix this? This is my only 4x4 besides my Rubik's, which is complete garbage.
Help please, and thanks in advance.
Oh, and please don't say get another 4x4 >_>

I used to have this problem with my QJ's all the time. First it was one center piece, then another, then another. Since you said for people not to say popele dont get another 4x4, I am going to hope you have more then one QJ? If not you should but one and use it for spare parts because the centers are just going to keep on popping off.
Sorry for the bubble burst

I only have one QJ
And if I am going to buy another 4x4 it'd probably be a Maru or Dayan

Sorry I couldn't help, I tried krazy glue once and it worked but it never turned the same. The glue residue gets in the way and its near impossible to get the piece to dry in the exact correct place.

Eh, you did help...now I know to get 2 of each cube I buy incase on breaks

What kind of super glue did you use? I always reccomend Elmer's Krazy Glue.

Forgot, I threw the box out long ago. It had "Krazy Glue" in its name though. I heard people use jigaloo to fuse towo pieces together (they use alot) would this work?

No, I wouldn't reccomend it, because they come apart easily. It'll probably be as effectice as taping it >_>

I have used a sodering iron to melt centers together then use sandpaper to reshape.

That's essentially what superglue does. I would give superglue another shot before you try this- there's a decent chance you'll screw up and have an unsalvageable piece.

Hey, that is exactly what happened to my Rubik's brand 4x4, and I tried to superglue it too with the strongest superglue available. I could then solve it one or two times before it snapped again.

I didn't know QJ mini had that problem. When mine arrived, it was hella tight and I was breaking it in with alot of force thinking things wouldn't break as fast as a Rubik's 4x4x4. I'm lucky I didn't break one of the center pieces. I'll now be a little more careful with it. :fp
