[Lowfer] Repairing Ferrites

Hello The Net:  Good Morning,

If I have a broken toroid, can I fit the pieces back together and glue 
them together ?

I think I can, using a epoxy, and being sure to exactly fitting the 
pieces together.
Also being sure the joints are as small and as close as possible,
  ie. minimum thickness of the glue.

Now, If I have ferrite rods and I want to stack them up axially, for 
greater length,
and I am sure the mating surfaces have maximum contact area, just glue 
them together.

Ferrite rods assembled radially would have to be insulated from one another.
Using a minimum thickness insulator like electrical tape applied axially.

Is my logic poor ?  What is the collective wisdom ?
