It is true that longer curing epoxies have less filler in the curative portion. The epoxy I use for motors has 7% curative and 93% epoxy. Most consumer epoxies are formulated to be volumetrically similar so the parallel syringes can be used to dispense it. It would be better if the curative side was thinner to begin with. Also epoxy is somewhat viscous and curative is runny like water so that is another reason they use fillers.

JB weld is a metallic filled adhesive that would probably work well on ABS and the associated materials.

Poop pipe is also called Quantum Tube over at PML.
