sealing welds on manifold?

Is there anything which could be used to seal the welds on my manifold?
I have done my best to make them air tight but there not going to be perfect

To be honest thats right, with all the heating cooling, expanding contraction etc. poor welds will fail.

Spend some time improving your technique on scraps of tube, and similar joints, then grind down the poor ones and re do them.

Find some one with a tig. You have real control of the weld pool with out just chucking in the filler wire like a mig does.
That said mig should be fine if the weld is good.
