[RESOLVED] The plastic cylinder in my soap dispenser is loose and the soap no longer pumps. What's the best way to fix this? Super glue didn't hold. (sh.itjust.works)

EDIT: I ended up using epoxy. Thank you for the help.

I think epoxy is the best bet, but next time you need to use super glue, try adding baking soda to the mix. It makes super glue much stronger.

Putty. Epoxy putty in a 2 part mix. Green stuff would probably work fine, so long as you wipe down the joining edges beforehand.

I used epoxy and so far it has held up!
