Most complex superglue surgery in my life. Mending a cracked leg sleeve on a tripod. Had to glue 3 shards (still imperfect) and get glue in crack in front, then apply a g clamp while it dries, since it’s in tension and would pull apart.

Superglue alone is not going to hold. Strongly suggest "whipping" with heavy nylon thread for permanent clamping, compression, additional tensile strength, and overcoating with epoxy, lacquer, varnish etc.

Basically. It's primitive composites layup, fiber in tension encased in semi-rigid polymer.

Heaviest thread you can find so you don't have to make 100 turns per cm.
Easy with a $5 fly tying bobbin off eb*y.

I did the same repair a few weeks back on my cracked dryer timer knob. Worked well, on that size I'd try a nail knot and twine.
