anything cyanoacrylate is what you're looking for. the gel based kinds are a little easier to use.

Super Glue needs moisture to cure so you can add it right away.
If you've ever tried to use super glue to repair pottery or ceramic like items it wont work unless you pre moisten the broken edges because the kiln process removes almost all the moisture and causes a weak bond.

I agree that the gel is best, kept in the freezer - no joke - it's thicker and easier to work with that way.
