No, you can try to resolder the joints. If that doesn't work, you'll just have to redo the sections that are leaking. Why didn't you go back with PEX?

Re epoxy: You would be better off, sweating/resoldering the joints which are leaking.

But take the scrap you have, and practice first above ground, where you have room to maneuver, and move things around to see what your joints look like.

Failing that you could buy sharkbite fittings to replace all the ones you have leaking. But if you have a lot of leaks, it might be less expensive to replace the copper with pex.

I wouldn't recommend you resolder until you find out what you are doing incorrectly.

What steps are you doing to each joint before soldering???

Get pex before you burn your house down.
