I have been trying to reconnect my A/C in my car which I haven't had since I installed my SR and today I was working with the high pressure line and it cracked. I'm wondering if any of you know of a sealant that I could put on the crack to seal it up. I got one at the store today but after putting it on, it seems pretty weak. I still have to wait a while for it to fully cure but I think it's not going to work. So, if you know of anything, please let me know.

you probobly just need a new line, they are under a lot of pressure.

it would probably be cheaper to get it welded.there really isn't a good band-aid for fixing the high pressure line.it's called that for a reason.

it is running around 200 p.s.i. If it explodes with you near it, it will freeze your skin(cold burn). Just replace it. They are not that expensive.
