Errrm.. no it wont, it will come away from the ABS.

For ABS 'glue' you need 'Stabilit Express'.

There is a specific epoxy that MissHydro is refering to. It actually softens the plastic contact area to give a better bond. Basically almost melts the plastic together ensuring a tight and hard to break bond plastic to plastic.
