Try here http://woodenwonderstx.com/CA_Glue_Page.html They have a rubberized CA but not sure if it is black?

Out of curiosity, why would you want that? There may be other ways of getting the same outcome. (unless it's a secret)

You could try painting the inside of the blank instead of the tube or you could tint some epoxy.

If you want to paint the tube use epoxy.You can also PC the tube if you want to use CA.

You can add color to two part epoxy. I haven't tried it but others on the IAP has.

Eagle .......you da man ........now like Jim I've got a reason to go and buy a powder coating setup

I have found that painting the inside of the blank to be the most effective.
This is, of course, at the most excellent suggestion of members of this group!

Beware, it is a little time consuming, and can get messy when you have a hand full of thumbs. oh and don't drop the blank in to a pile of shavings. (DAMHIKT)

I tried the black Ca a while ago.I don;t want to "screw" a possible sale for any of our suppliers, but it is not a paint and as such it doesn't work well for coloring tubes.
The other thing I didn't like about it is was that it didn't cure to a hard surface.I believe it is adverised as "flexible" for filling dark voids it was shall we say less than a success.
I am going to guess Aussie chick intended for the CA and powder to act as a colored fillin material.
though the CA may have worked in this instance, make sure you test the reaction of the CA with whatever you are adding to it on a sample of the woods you are coloing to use.
I PC some metalic strips for a glue up in blackwood.
The instant the CA hit the combination of the two it wasIMMEDIATE bond.I never had the chance to postion the pieces.
Yes I have failures,(I guess they call it experience)

again thanks
i painted the inside of the blank and it worked great
