OK, here is a new idea I have for dealing with the leaks...
I found an epoxy that is like a thick liquid. I was thinking to put a
vacuum in the air lines (not sure of the best way to do that) then pour
the epoxy on the joints. This should draw the epoxy into the leaking
joints and form a better seal.
Anyone have any ideas about that? What's the best way to get a small
vacuum on an air line set up?

I have a regular old 3/4" (?? I think?) ball valve on my compressors
output.
If the compressor is somewhere you can't easily get to it, that obviously
isn't going to work.
