What Adam said. Elmer's wood glue is best, hot glue works if you're careful.
If you cant spell capacitor, you should probably leave it alone.

If it was done right, it would have held almost as strong as it would be if it weren't broken.. Home Depot sells cinder blocks for a buck and change each and some red bricks for about the same price.. With all that you would be able to grip the blade in position, and then over 50lbs of bricks to squeeze everything tightly and let set for at least over night.. Looks like you dug up a rock out from your lawn, and I've done that before, pretty much the ghetto way, and have had the same results just like you are experiencing.. That rock did not support even pressure across that crack of that blade, and on top of that, it didn't apply pressure to reinforce it.. Here's an example of what I did with my Antique Emerson: I even had to redo my work on one of these blades, and had a hell of a time trying to break off the blade again from where I glued it..

They look great. Have you weighed them?

The new blades looks perfect. You're very well equipped too, that helps a lot.

They look great.. Hopefully you can get accurate weight on each of them... I'd probably would test them before paint is applied to them..

They're supposed to be white woodgrain, not plain white.

I'd spray paint them.. That paint doesn't look like it's on those blades very well.. I see alot of drip and paint running.. It doesn't look smooth.. You should sand down that coat of paint, or strip it off completely with some kind of paint thinner.. Spray light coats and at least 10 inches away from blade in a up/down direction, then pause for about 15mins and spray another coat on, then repeat another one or 2 times until satisfied..
