I think you are after sikaflex, I think you can get it from most motor factors.

thanks for the reply, but i've been told that sikaflex is the clear glue that bonds the lenses to the body work, then the black stuff fills the gaps.

I had to have a lens refitted recently and they used black Sikaflex.

If your filling gaps then a compound known as Dum Dum is required.
It used to be widely available from factors..
You can buy it from Frosts the classic car supplies company by mail order.
