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

[Steven Trovato]

I'd go with replacing the line.  I know, it probably costs a million 
dollars at the dealership, but that's what I'd do.  If this rubbing 
on the bracket thing is an unusual situation, I suppose one could try 
to find a used line, but it all comes down to how much the part 
really costs and how much your time is worth, I guess.
