Broken core

While winding the cores on my KPA100, I pulled too hard on the wire and broke one in the low pass filters.  I ordered a replacement from Elecraft.  I continued assembly as far as I could.  After staring sadly at the three core pieces, I thought of super-gluing the core back together.  My thought was to replace the repaired core with the replacement part when I receive it.  I fixed the broken core and finished assembly.  Gluing it back together was easy, but getting my fingers appart was a trick.  I think these things are just metal filings glued together anyway.  Is there any reason that the repaired core would have to be replaced?
