Anyone know of a good epoxy for plastic that dries black?
I'm planning to mill off the fixed iron sites on my wife's CX4 storm and turn it into a flat top, but the sites are hollow. They will need to be filled in from the inside with some sort of epoxy before I mill them. What is a good, strong epoxy that will bond to the plastic and dry black? Most of it will be covered by the new top picatinny rail, but there will be a small section on either side of the rail that is visible, so I want it to look good. I'd rather not paint it if possible.
How about this?

I was thinking something thinner than that would be better to avoid air pockets, but wasn't able to find anything.
Any suggestions?

At work we used to use a dye that we added to epoxy. I don't have the info on it though. If you have some clear already, you could try a drop or two of paint in it.

Bring it over and let me have a look- I have a fine black powder that I often mix with Acraglas. It is black as the ace of spades.

Totally black, literally one drop per about a pint of epoxy. Like I said though, I don't remember the name. I'd take your neighbor up on his offer.

If not use Fusor plastic binder by Lord's Company. Any good body shop supply store will have it. Check out their product line. The metal binder they have is how most cars are repaired nowadays. No welding. All glue. You can get stuff that sets in 30sec all the way to a couple hrs.

Just looked up Devcon, as it turns out they use this for modifying Glock grips, and it matches pretty well:

Anyway I'm gonna have CDI take care of it but I'll keep that in mind for future projects.
