Hi, Phil Swift here with Flex Tape! The super-strong waterproof tape! That can instantly patch, bond, seal, and repair! Flex tape is no ordinary tape; its triple thick adhesive virtually welds itself to the surface, instantly stopping the toughest leaks. Leaky pipes can cause major damage, but Flex Tape grips on tight and bonds instantly! Plus, Flex Tape’s powerful adhesive is so strong, it even works underwater! Now you can repair leaks in pools and spas in water without draining them! Flex Tape is perfect for marine, campers and RVs! Flex Tape is super strong, and once it's on, it holds on tight! And for emergency auto repair, Flex Tape keeps its grip, even in the toughest conditions! Big storms can cause big damage, but Flex Tape comes super wide, so you can easily patch large holes. To show the power of Flex Tape, I sawed this boat in half! And repaired it with only Flex Tape! Not only does Flex Tape’s powerful adhesive hold the boat together, but it creates a super strong water tight seal, EVEN FOR AC UNITS, so the inside is completly dry! Yee-doggy! Just cut, peel, stick and seal! Imagine everything you can do with the power of Flex Tape!

Good thing Greg was a service technician for 35 year and was retiring very soon. He showed Timothy this very cool trick to fix this minor issue. He was home by 6.

Umm sure "simply" but lets see how far you get before losing a finger Most Aircon AC refrigerants are propane based so a soldering torch or iron is a big NO NO if it has a leak that hasn't been purged. Not to mention it'd be near impossible to solder due to the pressure coming out of the leak, if you made it this far and don't feel insulted to learn the correct way to fix a pin leak like that Get a hose clamp and slip some thin gasket or rubber liner under the clamp so when you tighten it up it creates a solid seal the pressure from the leak wont be able to escape it, this method works on every pipes leak besides braided pipes, even works for 7inch steel sewage pipes to propane lines
