Araldite is an Epoxy based glue, and if you sent it back thats all they'd use to fix it.

5minute Araldite, glue it, clamp it, and skate it 20 minutes later.

I would email the maker and ask for advice.

Over the years I have learned to avoid decks made with Bamboo, and carbon fibre, since these materials are not durable enough, and very difficult to repair, unless you are a wizard with those materials.
