Gorilla Glue is what you need. I have used it myself for just such a project. Just follow the instructions. Make sure the surfaces are reasonably clean. You do need to wet at least one of the surfaces before appying the glue. The water helps activate it. Also you will need to clamp it tight while it cures and dries because this glue does expand a little. Clamping is easy, just set something heavy on it.

Umm... Like my big ass after a few big IPA's. Joking aside, thanks Wayne. Just trying to recoup the loss of a lesser quality used cornie. Out of seven kegs I've aquired thus far from this same source, one sucked ass in technicolor.
