What "glue" to repair pot

[Dunnomate]

Temp solution until I pay someone next Summer to fit a replacement chimney pot.
Multi-cracked pot held together with chicken wire. Some ingress of water when it rains.
Liner etc holding it in place too.
No H&S/Public Liability issues due to location.
I intend to line chimney pot with clearance-fit sleeve, & "glue" all the bits together. Then I can fit my third flexi flue liner in 25yrs.
Can someone please suggest a cheap material to use for bonding, other than cement-based.
I expect an epoxy resin would be expensive, the amount I`d need. I no longer have access to litre tins of that from work.
What about fibreglass matt & resin?
Re heat transfer: Distance from chimney cap down to stove is 6 metres.
Thanks in anticipation.

It's cement - anything else will be destroyed by the high temperatures.
Even cement is a hideous bodge and will probably fail.

Cheers, I`ll add a touch of lime to the mix.

£25-50 for a second hand chimney pot and a bag of cement.

...and a bag of sand?
Thanks.
I`m planning a quick bodge job to see me through the winter, then I`ll probably pay for a proper job before next winter. I may be out of my depth if I start tackling the capping job now.
I have a good-as-new replacement pot kicking about but not fitting that until I get someone to recap the chimney stack. I`m hoping someone will be able to just replace the rear section of the capping, because the front with the two redundant pots is totally solid.
Something like drill & epoxy rebars into the front half, then cement the back half(see my profile pic for pot set-up).
The stack is in two sections, joined. Rear, c1850, needs repointing & recapping when the "new" pot & a decent liner is fitted next Summer. A liner that won`t lift & crack the rear single pot & capping around it. The front of the chimney stack capping is solidly holding the 2 front pots in place, + going by the unused fireplaces in the 2 small upstairs rooms, the front stack section was erected maybe turn of 1900s, but certainly before 1938.
Cheers

To anyone thinking of sourcing a flexi liner: I`ve had a real fight to try & get a non-mullered flexi flue pipe(3 attempts, 2 sellers)....if anyone wants the info to try & avoid my pitfalls. In the end, it was safer to hold onto a supplied-damaged one to repair myself, rather than risk being ripped off again, short-changed refund & emptyhanded, ie, not being able to get a straight item....from a straight seller(on eBay) Quite happy to name the companies & share the pics, if it`ll help anyone avoid those miscreants.

I doubt you'd recognise those areas now! My sons go to Blue Coat, still a very good school.

Family moved to Scarborough for a year after Oldham, never been back up Lancs way, apart from a quick trip to Blackpool to pick up a WWII Douglas engine. Good to hear Bluecoat still has good standards. I went on Google Street Scene c15yrs ago to note what covers the footprint my mid terrace back-to-back house & neighbour`s were on back in the day. Wonder what our rag`n`bone man....& his dog, would make of it now!
