The $2.87 syringe of Devcon Plastic welder works for this as well if you don't want to drop the big bucks on the West systems stuff. I keep the West epoxy because I do a lot of composite repairs. Adding powdered tempra paint(HObby Lobby etc) will turn non-black adhesive black as well and actually add a little thickening. Corn starch works too, as does baby powder(calcium carbonate) or graphite powder from Gougeon. Depends on what properties you're looking for. Chopped up fiberglass strands would be stonger for sure.
