Fixing broken sunglasses?

A while ago I was dumb and put my sunglasses in my pocket during lab. When I got out to put them on, one of the arms was busted in half. FVCK I thought. They are Oakley's. Granted they are quite old, used, and bought from a friend for $10, they are still nice and I don't wanna shell out money for crappy sunglasses nor a ton of $$ for nice ones.

So the arm broke in half pretty much. The other half fits in alright, but I'm not sure what I would need to attach it.

I want something that, if I do very carefully and good, that will work and not fvck it up beyond repair. I have some Krazy Glue/super glue but I don't think that it would be strong enough. Maybe though? I don't wanna try anything till I know it will stick.

If not, would I be best off using say a toothpick to apply a small dab of epoxy + whatever it mixes with? Anyone have to do a similar repair?

get your self some krazy glue/super glue and then just glue it back... hold it tight for 30 seconds or so. make sure its the way you want it, otherwise it'll be all cr00ked. :(

go get some oakley knockoffs and just replace your broken arm with the new/cheap one. Just a thought
