Hey guys, Unusual problem here, working on an old building where the heating pipes are cast iron, the general condition is good so I dont think this is a rip out and replace scenario. The problem is a small area on a pipe where there is no crack or visible hole, but water is slowly weeping through what must be a micro sized hole. I patched this about 2 years ago with.... dont laugh..... water proof sticks like **** followed by denzo wrapping. It worked but as I told them at the time it would probably only last a while and they would eventually need to properly repair it.The basic question is - does anyone know if it is possible to patch this or does it need a proper cast iron expert to cut a length out and replace.One repair i thought about would be a patch or rubber with 2 big jubilee clips ( the pipe is 3.5 inch)Any ideas would be great.Thanks.Nick.
Forgot to add, is Unibond epoxy metal repair an idea ? with the jubilee and rubber as a back up??
