[TR] Bakelite - best glue?

After storing my control head with its stator tube for years, I managed to
drop it yesterday, whereupon a chunk of bakelite broke cleanly off. It looks
as though it won't impair the operation and so I would like to glue it back
on so that it stays put. When I place the piece in position the crack is
almost imperceptible.
I have not had great success with gluing bakelite before - not that I have
tried many times - maybe because it is so porous. I am thinking epoxy but am
not confident in its longevity, given the exposure to the sun.
Advice?
TIA,
Jim Wallace
