Jim is dead on. Get away from the fast set glues. The "Glue Wars" thread explains all this. They just aren't as strong as the long cures.

You can colorize JB Weld to solid black with Aluminte Dye from a hobby shop. You can also pink it up a little with the red dye. Clear epoxy can be colorized just about any color the same way.
