Default hole in my chiller

Was getting ready to brew today and saw I have a pinhole in my immersion chiller. Any ideas on a quick fix that would hold up for the day? I guess I could cut and soder it with a collar before I start, any other ideas?

Collar would be the way I would do it and trust it not to leak.

JB weld to the rescue.

Shouldn't be too hard to find someone nearby to sweat a bit of solder into that hole tho.

i wouldn't trust regular electric solder or jbweld if it is coming in contact with the beer. lots of electric solder is lead based. who the hell knows what is in jbweld.

silver plumbing solder should be ok.
