Anyone experience of 2 part epoxy putty

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.
Is it PVC? If so pipe cement and some fibreglass tape for
reinforcing may be applicable?
