Default gluing spark plug insulation?

heres the story... i bought some denso iridiums for dirt cheap (35 for 4!) but the problem was one of the plugs had a cracked insulation. i tried gapping that plug anyway and a chunk of the insulation came off.
now since i bought it from some kinda ghetto group buy, i dont think i can get a replacement plug. so would it be ok for me to just glue the little piece of insulation that broke off? would this be safe? will the plug still make a electrical spark?

ps i gapped them at .044 is that ok?

thanks guys!

Throw it away and buy a new plug.

DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT take the risk.. if one of that chunk were to fall off and go inside.. will definitely scratch the top of the pistons..
