Repair chips on ebonol fretboard

Hi, i've bought a Kramer 250b (aluminium neck) that was defretted. There are many chips on the fretboard. I know that it's possible repair chips on wood fretboards with glue and wood dust, but i don't know how repair an ebonol fretboard. I suppose that it's necessary the same material (but where i can get it?), and maybe specific glue. If anyone has done a similar work would suggest to me the appropriate method and the appropriate materials? Surely the best thing would be to take the bass to a luthier, but it's very expensive here in Italy and the work it seems to me very particular (such as the kramer necks). Before of this solution i would try to do the work by myself with a little chip at the end of the fretboard. Excuse me for my english.
Here some pics of the chips (i think to refret the bass, not to fill the slots).

Dang, thats rough. Looks like someone just got a good grip and ripped those suckers out. Im thinking that regardless of method thatll porbably show through in a lot of places (unless you do the entire board). Black epoxy or something similar would porbably work well.
