seal a water leak

I have a double collar and overcenter clamp to provide a quick connect on
the four inch hose to my traveler. Its been disconnected and reattached so
many times that there now is a pinhole right where the clamp pulls up tight
on the collar.
The correct fix would be a real skilled TIG (not me) welder. But, more than
likely, a hole would get burned in the pipe and then I'd be SOL for one-two
weeks getting this custom part made.
Anyway, I want to try some sort of goo to seal it up. Its basically a pin
hole in the side of a stainless steel pipe (just a real bad spot). What
would you try? Needs to hold 120 psi.

Epoxy putty from the inside perhaps? Covering a decent diameter spot
with a smooth slope so it doesn't impede the flow too much. Inside
surface cleaned and sanded for a good bond. Perhaps a JB Weld filled
epoxy putty?
