How to repair pin hole leak in kitchen faucet spout?

What product can I use to repair the pin hole leak from erosion, on the chrome kitchen faucet spout? Thanks for your help.

The following method is 100% guaranteed to work and it costs you next to nothing. Now give me a good tip . hahaha...Just kidding. Ok, back to the subject, how to fix a pin hole on the faucet spout? If you don't mind the looks, you can wrap a wide rubber band around the pin hole couple of times. It will still leak a little in the sink, but will not shoot you right in the face or spray all over the place. And you don't care if it leaks a little in the sink, right? If that rubber band breaks, you can easily replace it and it will cost you less than a cent??? I know it is a temporary fix, but you can extend it by replacing that rubber band over and over again. Why do I guaranteed it to work? because I am using one right now. Unless you are out of luck, the pin hole is located in a place where you can't wrap a rubber band around, then go to get a new faucet. Ok, give me two thumbs up now.

I use super glue and let it set for 2 hrs.

I'm having this same problem right now, and JB Weld is not working at all. Water is coming up from the hole in the spout and dissolving the weld so the hole is re-opening. If any one has any other ideas now is a good time to suggest something? And yes, I am using the JB Weld completely how the instructions say to use it.
