You can use something like the west systems six/10, then you don't have to mix anything. It sticks like peanut butter and injects into whatever shape or area you desire with a calk gun.
You can also get a PVC pipe or other 2" form to hold the epoxy in place. Coat it with "mold release". Make a couple of "injection" ports at the rim to allow you to stick the nozzle in and inject until it comes out the other ports. That being said I would probably wet out the hole by brushing on regular epoxy to the insides of the hole before using the six/10. Once it is all cured you can knock out the PVC pipe.
