Is there a best adhesive to use for a crack on polystone?

I have a pretty significant crack on a very large piece. I would say the crack spans roughly 2 inches and is open about a 16th of an inch, maybe a hair wider. Is there a preferred adhesive that I should use to try and squeeze in there?

My main concern is not the look really. Its in the back of the piece. My main concern is just making sure its somewhat strengthened as its on a leg and I assume overtime this could become much worse if not catastrophic.

I found Super-glue failed to join polystone.

Araldite has no problem joining polystone.
I use Araldite rapid set, the self mixing syringe type.
