Slow leak on boiler return line

Lemme get this straight Theo......... We've just started to get into the winter season. You want to wait till Spring/Summer to repair it? What are you going to do if it goes completly in the middle of the winter on a Sat evening? Id suggest fixing it right at the earliest opportunity. Otherwise, I hear bubble gum and scotch tape make great leak repairs. Bubba

What will you do if it leaks worse in mid January and the temperature is 40 degrees less than it is today? There is nothing on the outside that is foolproof. Plenty of things (epoxy, JB Weld, etc) may get you an hour, day, month, or more, but long term, it just does not hold up in most cases.

Ok. Thanks for the advice.

Duct tape.

Yea Elmers glue and Duck tape work great , Try it, im Mr Hack visit my website.

Is this a new or older boiler?

-zero

He could use a clamp and boot? But what's he gonna do about other parts of the pipe that soom will be leaking? I'm thinking he should call a qualified, licensed, insured heating / boiler repair company. Take a loan, use a credit card, or pay cash, which ever works and rest assured his property won't go scathed when it finally bursts.
