4th for the pipe cutter.  The PVC cutter has a tendency to bend the blade where it is cutting it, which will probably make your cut mark slanted, and not even all the way across the blade.

You will have to reglue it yes.  Some hot glue ought to do it.  I suppose it could get wrinkled but I have a few blades that came wrinkled.  Doesn't make a huge difference.  Noticeable but not awful.

My only fear is, as short as I want the blade, I don't want it to be TOO wrinkled but... hot glue eh? hmm I heard that maybe gorilla glue would work too?

Hot glue should work. I wouldn't recommend using Gorilla Glue, in case you need to get the glue off to get the "snake pattern" out.
