Yesterday I tried locktite Epoxy "metal" to fix the air leaking pipes.  It 
takes 24 hours to cure.

I had 4 main leaks.  After waiting a day, I recharged the system and to my 
delight, no leaks.  After a few seconds, one of the leaks returned very 
slightly.  I re-epoxied it and we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

Turns out that my chipped die was for 1" pipe and 3 of the 4 leaks were 
3/4". The 4th one was two factory fittings.

We'll see how these repairs hold up.  My system runs at 120PSI.
