I cut a little gash in the hot condenser refrigerant line while i was working on fitting my xd9000i in my tjm. It is very accessible, so what is my best be to repair this? jb weld or find someone that can weld aluminum?

I would just replace it. JB weld prob wont hold and welding might fatigue it, and thats not good on a press line.

well, I tried taking it to a shock and getting them to tig weld it, but they recommended replacing it and it was only $60 so I went that route. I also am going to JB weld the old line for kicks to see if it can hold.
