Nope, ABS is not pourous enough to give epoxy any tooth but if you go to Home Depot or any hardware store and buy ABS plumbers glue (for black plastic pipe) it will do the trick. Just remember, this is a solvent cement...it dissolves the ABS then when the volatile solvent evaporates it allows it to solidify back into the original plastic. In short that means it's a permanent bond and you do not want to get it on anything you don't want melted together.
