Anyone experience of 2 part epoxy putty

Essentially, it is almost like a regular tee but with an extra side branch to connect a drain hose to it. The bit has broken off completely. Rather than a vertical break in parallel with the main body, it is at an angle so the result wont really need to bear any weight (if you see what I mean).
When you put the mixed epoxy putty onto the plastic, is it supposed to stick to it and therefore stay on or does this only happen once cured?
thanks

I think you're better not using the epoxy as a kind of contact adhesive;
rather something to wrap around it and hold it all together, something
like a plaster cast. If it has snapped, then it probably needs some
kind of reinforcement anyway. If it's the right kind of plastic, you
might try some kind of melting adhesive (like you might do with airfix
kit parts), and afterwards make sure that it has not blocked the hole,
but it would still probably need some extra strengthening.
If it is like a tee with an extra branch, you may be able to recreate
its function with two tees, one after the other.
