Glue, for example, in black (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solvent

This clue is a double definition.

'glue for example' is the first definition.
(glue is a solvent)

'in black' is the second definition.
(in the black means financially solvent)

(Other definitions for solvent that I've seen before include "not on the rocks" , "afloat" , "Creditworthy" , "Financially sound" , "In credit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
