Roof tile repair

Hi all,
We have a roof tile where the corner has chipped off. We have the corner part to stick it back together but I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of which adhesive to use?
The broken part doesn't affect the integrity of the roof and it's likely to be more disturbing to replace it, plus as it's in the middle of the roof a new tile is going to show like a sore thumb.

Have used silicon sealer in past just to be cosmetically good. I put it on underneath and pushed down onto underlying tile.

Or pop in to a local building reclaim yard and see if they have any matching tiles.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

If you don't want to be re-gluing it in a year or two I'd suggest two-part epoxy. I repaired one about 10 years ago and its still in one piece.0
