If I had a copper pipe with a hole in it - say a nail had been driven

with a blow-torch and melting some plumbing solder into the hole?

If it were a very tiny hole it might. But probably not on a larger one.

(This hasn't actually happened btw - I'm just wondering how best to
ever deal with this eventuality!)

Cut the pipe at the hole and use a coupler.


Put a self tapping size 6 screw in the nail hole. Worked for me.
