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.
Did this years ago on a cracked gray water pipe. Had some marine epoxy from boat work:
- Cleaned the pipe.
- Scuffed the area with sandpaper.
- Wrapped with fiberglass all the way around the pipe and then wetted out with epoxy.
7yrs later when we sold the trailer it was still holding. Another 6yrs on, I know the current owner and have seen the trailer this past summer...the repair is still holding.
PS: I probably wouldn't bother with marine epoxy if I was buying material. It's very expensive. Cheaper vinyl ester resin should work just fine.
