50 year old house with baseboard radiators…I flexed the pipes while remodeling, and there is now a pinhole leak where the copper is corroded some.
I know the real fix is to drain the radiator line, cut out the corroded pipe and solder in a new length, but is there an easier way to stop the leak? The leak is so small it barely does a drop a minute (if even that), so if there’s a quick way that works, I’d be glad to hear of it.
Thanks
PS: I think the corrosion comes from contact with a steel support that I’ve since replaced with wood, so I’m hoping that the source of corrosion is gone. But hey, I’m a carp and not a plumber.

easier? yes. better? no.
100mph tape
aluminum foamboard tape
jb weld
liquid steel
3 wads of well-chewed Bazooka bubble gum
silicone caulk
by the time you've read all of these "easier" solutions, you could have done it right 3 times...
