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.
