+1 on the solder, clean it well, I use sandpaper and a small soldering iron.  Permanent fix as far as I can tell.

Sand it a little also before the Seal All and let it dry well but I think you may be surprised.Fixed a cracked carb body by an emulsion tube a very,very long time ago and as far as I know its still hanging in there.
