Can I just glue this impellar back together?

I really don't want to drop $50 on a new one right now. What do you guys think? Any suggestions on glue?

It will likely come apart again not to mention, the glue would likely cause it to be out of balance. Should you decide to glue it, when it does break again, you stand a good chance of damaging the inside of the block inside the magnet cavity since there will be nothing to keep the magnet centered. You're going to want to get a replacement impeller.
