Default Pinhole Size Leak in Water Pipe; Moldable Putty products ThatWork, etc. ?

Hello,

Have a pinhole size leak in a 1/2" Cu cold water line in house.
At a 90 deg. elbow.

Too old now to do the re-soldering myself, and would like if possible
to avoid a plumber. Really a very small leak.

Are there any putty or epoxy, or... products out there that can
be molded around the pipe, and stand a good chance of actually working ?

If so, brands, etc. ?

Much thanks,
B.

One old trick is to clamp a piece of rubber hose over the leak
with a hose clamp. Is there room to do that?
