[Shop-talk] Epoxy/JB Weld on auto a/c line?

The small piece of metal patch might be a good idea to try.

I suspect the hole is larger than 0.002", but lets just assume that it is 0.031" which is about 1/32" (still pretty darned small).  At 200 psi that is a net pressure on the patch of about 2.5 ounces.
