Pull a gentle vacuum on the wing while heating the area with a heat lamp.
Mix up a thin mixture of epoxy flox, and then put it on the hole and allow
it to suck in. The elevated temperature lowers the viscosity. Let it suck
in, make sure no air comes in to make a new passage, then allow to cure.

Posted for Brad jepp <brad4666k@yahoo.com>:

Does anyone have a good solution to repairing a pin
hole leak in the leading edge of the wing. I did not
close out the wing, it was done by a previous owner.
It is part of the fuel bay. It took about 50 hours to
leak through. I am looking for a product like hysol,
but do need a whole quart for a little patch job.
Anybody else experience this? Brad LIV-55 hours Still
