Default Leaking 1/2" union -- face on a lathe?

Awl --

It's an old-style union (flat mating faces), immediately on my compressor,
with the controls and fittings on that.

Should be a quick job, if it will work... will save me a trip to the store.
Plus it would be but another DIY thrill....

Alternatively, can I just putty/dope the faces up?
I know this is a no-no in water plumbing, but mebbe it's an OK stopgap here?
Even tho the psi are higher -- 120 air vs. 60 or less for water.
