But I find a second layer of protection to be nice. Such as
J.B.Weld.
But to keep it from niggling at the back of your mind,
redoing those joints correctly is going to do a lot for your
mental wellbeing. Gonna be a while before you trust someone
else to do a job, isn't it?

Loctite could well do it for you, though.

Yeah, I know. Seeing as it is only a 'pinhole' leak, I thought I'd
check to see if there was a product certified for this purpose.
Sounds like there isn't. I'll give the loctite some consideration,
but will probably go with breaking it apart and putting in a union.

The Loctite product 579 is meant to be applied prior to assembly to
clean & dry threads. Parts are to be assembled & torqued, low
strength seal achieved immediately, high strength in 24 hrs.

I doubt this stuff will work "after the fact" unless there is a method
to draw the material into the thread plus any contamination might
effect cure.
