Default leaking charge pipes

Ok, my charge pipe has some very small leaks, but still it is annoying, I had my 16 year old cousin weld the charge pipes because he wanted to help with my turbo install, and for the most part he did a great job, but I have 1 maybe two PINHOLE leaks, so I was wondering if jbweld would work, I just want to put a layer around each weld to smooth it out a little and seal it, I'm just not sure how it would hold up to boost pressure.

Sorry for sounding wayyyy ghetto, but I don't really want to hurt his feelings by making him redo it lol...

Anyone else have any input? I think I'm going to give it a try next weekend unless anyone sees a reason it would not be a good temp. solution.

yeah JB weld will work, but why not just grind down the welds and re-do it yourself (and don't tell him)...?

Then it will be done right and you'll both be happy.

I don't have welding tools, nor the experience to do it any better than he did.
