I am trying to plug a leak in an aluminum pipe in my ice cream maker. I tried soldering it(see pic), but I suspect my skills/tools are not good enough to properly solder it.

I am considering using an epoxy to fill the hole. Do you have a good suggestion for an epoxy?(needs to be available in Europe). Or maybe some other way to plug the hole?

Right now I am considering using Loctite Power Epoxy Metal.

Can you circle the exact problem area?

This is the problem. There is a small hole and a bit of corrosion around it. As you can see there is a shitty solder blob on top of it.

>food stream
I know. But mu soldering iron is too crappy and my skills are too bad to get a proper solder. This is just on the cooling pipes, so not in contact with food.
