i like using super glue instead of hot glue to reattach the new one.  But either will work

 

Not only does superglue require a near perfect fit of the tip as tjm said, but it's basically a one off thing.  Once that tip is superglued onto the rod, you can't get it off if you need to replace it.  I have rods that the tips have needed to be replaced more than once.  I have a couple sticks of hot melt ferrule cement that I've used for more than 40 years, and still have enough left to put on 40 more years of tips--I'll certainly be gone before they are.
