If you do not, then cut the copper away from the solder elbow join, play mechano with compression fittings and an end cap or valve.

Nothing else is going to fix it, don't waste your time with glues, tape and sealants.
So "Stop Gap" products useless......

If I knew what an Oxy Torch was I'd use it. Mate I'm completely useless and extremely ****ed off this has happened.

Thank you.

Just shows how stupid I am I guess.
