Yeah, unfortunatly you may need to get new tubes. That would be the right way to do it anyway. Or you could try filling any area between the tube and the strut with your cold weld stuff, this may work or it may just leave you with an epoxyed strut that won't stay tight and you can't put in a new tube later on.

Or you can just see how well it holds out for now, but remember a strut needs to hold all the weight of the car in the corners and everything and they will probly move around enough to be changing the wheel angles and alingment all the time.
