You can make wood flour out of a very dark wood and when mixed with epoxy it will make an even darker concoction. It won't be black but for a glue line it will be close enough no one will know the difference. You get the added benefit of a fairly strong epoxy mix because wood flour is a medium strength thickening agent.
You can even test whatever you come up with ahead of time by wetting the wood flour with water.

: I remember seeing posted here, a glue that dries black instead of
: white/yellow. I think it is a glue that tends to foam up when applied, but
: I could be wrong about that. The reason I ask is that I am having new
: kitchen counter tops installed tomorrow (formica laminate) and they are a
: mottled black/brown/grey color, and if any glue residue would show at the
: seams between pieces, a black glue would be much less detectable than a
: yellow glue residue.
: I thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
