i was cutting away at some plastic to install some lights behind my grill (not being careful) and the razor slipped and cut my ac consenser, releasing all the r134



my plan is to solder it and then jb weld over it. now my question is; do i need to bend back the metal tubing (or whatever i cut through as you can see in the picture) and align it back together before soldering? Or can I just solder over the two ends? this would mean the r134 would be blocked at that part. will this work or does the r134 NEED to flow thru all parts of the ac condenser?


please help, thanks
 






any repair on it will require it's removal. Some radiator shops can fix them. Refrigerant oil travels in the system making a clean solder on the area difficult.
 






why would i have to remove it?


will it matter if that line or tube is blocked at that point?
