Hi Toppar11, I would just put the thing back together and leave it at that. Like mentioned above, trying to reattach a fin to the rotor could result in serious damage to the stator if it comes apart while in operation. However if you are dead set on gluing the fin back on? I think JB Weld has something that would work? Would have to look in your local autoparts shop or online. JB Weld I do experiments with AC motors as Induction Generators and have had a few accidents in the past. Most of the time one missing fin is not going to make much difference as the rotor is a good flywheel and helps with keeping the rotor balanced.
