What is the best way and best adhesive to use to glue a ceramic ring back into a Fuji Alconite guide?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I really think the best way to repair this is a new guide and wrap. This is the way I've repaired these for anyone bringing one in to me. It might be "glue-able" , but I wouldn't want to do that and then have it come out again...

Randy is right , just wrap on a new guide and be done with it . I have not had any problems with incerts falling out with out the help of abuse . I get a lot of repairs on factory rods where the incerts fall out , many of which come back for " another one" that fell out , at which point I'll offer to replace the rest of the guides and save the guy some money. Check the rod and see if you can find the Fuji stamp in the frame of the guide , if you don't know if they really are Fuji guides, chances are they're not .
Have fun , John

Randy and John are correct. Something happened to the fram to cause the ring to pop out . I would replace the whole guide. Incase this is just a quick fix m use quick instant glue, but this is just a temp. fix. The rig well pop out again
