Pencil Soldering

Can a hole in copper pipe be spot soldered ?

Can a hole (the diameter of pencil lead) in copper pipe be spot soldered to stop the leak?

Depending on pressure, you could do allot. J.B. Weld might even work. Replacing the section of pipe is best, the problem will resurface if you don’t. That is the Zen of home repair, do it now or do it later; small problems will only become larger if left unchecked. Soldering is but a band-aide…
