Did you ever try baking soda or even dry pigment?
I've seen people repair bone and ivory nuts on instruments using filed bone or ivory and CA, just like the baking soda trick. That leads me to believe baking soda might be a choice of convenience since it's a fine powder and widely available. If baking soda doesn't effect the sheen, perhaps another fine powder, like dry pigment would.
It's done in film makeup all the time, you apply the paint or makeup, then press powder into it. It not only deadens the sheen, but it sets it as well.
Might be worth a test.

I also have Gorilla CA on order, I've never tried it before, I'll pay attention to it's sheen.

I am interested in how the gorilla glue works out. I am building paper plants and adding anything to the CA isn’t feasible.

Too slow
In that case, I'd try using a PVA with a green or brown (wherever the join is) dry pigment added and feather it out with water.
