    Does anyone know if possible to repair a capillary thermostat.
    I've just cut through the copper capillary tubing.
    Can it be mended, assume tieing a knot in it is not likely work.

          I thought the tubing was filled with a liquid? Even if you could repair the tube, you would have to find out what fluid was in there and refill somehow.

            I thought it had a liquid in it as well, but nothing came out.
