First broken/fixed piece

Well, ive had this Kimex hitter for about a month. I was using it today and went to clean it out with a paper clip. Well this paper clip had a bit more "girth" than usual. And while cleaning it, it got stuck, and my dumb ass gave a little yank and shattered part of it off. Well this piece was right at the end of the funnel where it gets thinner from the opening. I was real bummed out and started messing with it. I placed it on very carefully, heated it up over a flame for about 2 mins, applied a little pressure then let it sit. About 3 hours later I come back and repeat the process, and it is working 100% fine and isnt budging, Im so happy now, and will definatly be a lot more careful.

Anyone else ever broken a piece and fixed it?
