Awwww Nuts

[Ayce]

I don't usually need help in repairs, but this is one of those times.
I have a Yamaha RBX375, and I've been working on fixing the battery clip. (Still looking for my solder. ) That is not the problem, though. The other day, my 4 y.o. was messing with it, and I noticed something didn't sound right. The B string was kind of dead. I looked at it, and noticed the nut had broke at the middle of the slot, and that piece was on the floor.
Would it be feasible to glue it back in place for now, or should I just replace the whole thing? If glue is an option, which would be best, crazy glue or epoxy (or other) ?

Looking for the cheapest method for now, and it will be replaced at the earliest opportunity.

Thanks for any advise.

I'd use super glue - shouldn't be a big deal. You want a clean glue joint with no bleed-out of the glue. I'd also clean the surfaces with denatured alcohol and test fit it a couple of times before gluing it, so I could be confident that I'd insert the piece in exactly the right place.

Yeah super glue will do fine. I once fixed a Strat nut with the tube of Krazy Glue with the little plastic pin applicator and ten seconds later good as new.

Thanks, guys. I think I have some here somewhere, but if not, I can get some.

Fresh super glue performs better than old stuff. If it's over a year old I chuck it.
