One answer is to call the bumbleheads back, and ask them to redo
the job. Of course, this might not work any better the second
time.

I know of no after the assembly sealant. Wish I did, I coulda
used it myself a few times.

At this point, the repair is considerable work. Dissemble the
pipe from the union to where the leak is. It's also possible to
take the elbow out with a sawzall, and dissemble some pipe.
Replace a length of pipe with two shorter pieces, and another
union.
