Help! Gumpaste Number Broke!!!!

I have a cake due this Saturday and I made a 4" 3 and 0 out of gumpaste. I have done this before, but this time the 3 cracked at the base near where I have the dowel inserted. It's too late to make another, and this one has been drying for a week. I'm trying to patch it with royal icing. Any other thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
What about gumpaste glue, 3 tbsp water and 1/8 tsp of gumpaste, let stand for about 20 minutes, mix until gumpaste is incorporated in water.
Hmmm, I can't quite picture it. RI will work, so will gum glue. That's made with gum arabic and water (cooked I believe) or the way I do it is to take some gumpaste and thin it with water into a thick liquid paste. It should dry overnight.
