No, but I have used cheapo Homedepot fiberglass "resin" and some loose fibers. Just soak the fiberglass sheet or fibers in the epoxy and smear/wrap/slather on the cleaned and sanded crack. Marine epoxy would be better if you think the pipe might move or wiggle as Marine is more flexible.
Hint: while a simple, loose cotton face drape might protect you from the world's most deadly virus ever, i would use a canister respirator mask when working with epoxy - also available at HD.
Fiberglass is not ideal for sticking to plastic. Using a better, real epoxy, resin would be better, but more expensive.
All you are doing is stopping water leaking from a few inches of pressure, so my repairs have worked.
Also, JB weld for plastic might be enough too.
VHB tape should work on the pipe, but not at a junction. VHB tape does not like corners or ridges, just flat surfaces such as a pipe.
