It's leaking around the spout where it joins to the can. I don't think
it's possible to solder a galvanised can, or is there some approach I
could take? I don't have access to brazing gear. New cans are quite
expensive and



this can is fine, apart from the leak.

ROTFLMAO

You mean that the can is ****ed.


Roughly what I was thinking, but you expressed it really well.



I regularly solder galvanised sheet with a good result using 'lead free'
plumbers solder and the appropriate flux. However be aware that I am using
new shiny plate. In your case you need to clean the galvanising thoroughly,
either by abrading with a wire wheel, or a mild acid wash.
