My Cron annhil barge stand snapped the other week. Right down into the nub :(
I've tried reglueing it several times but theres simply not enough surface area left to get it stable and its a heavyish model anyways.

Anyone else had this happen and found a working solution?
cheers.

Buy a pin vice (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Proops-Piece-Micro-Twist-Swivel/dp/B00LX17XXW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474678049&sr=8-1&keywords=pin+vice) & a circular needle file (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sivitec-Needle-File-Jewellers-Files/dp/B00DFP6SS0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1474678109&sr=8-7&keywords=needle+file). You'll find both useful in the future for all sorts anyway so a good £11 spent imo.
Drill out the old stem.
Use the file to make the hole bigger.
Jamb onto the current stand - as the stand is conical it will friction-fit really well. You could glue it in place or not. Not means you can take them apart for transport.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

I paint my flying stands flat black which means I can get away with gluing them more substantially and even building up a bit of terrain to support the stem if needed.
