Think I'm just gonna sand it and use my high silver content epoxy and see how that works. If it works, I can then fix my Feser Duo that sprang a similar leak a year or so ago

You will need to watch the fins as they will be wanting to melt at brazing temps, possibly sink off the area with vice grip and wrap wet towles against the fin area on the end that is being repaired ...........



Stop in any welding retailer with the unit and they will hook you up with the best stix for the job

or simply replace unit with no muss no fuss as brazing aluminum is tricky
