Default Intake Damage Help???????????

OOPS, I dropped my LS6 intake and did a little damage on the edge where it meets (seals) against the cylinder head. This area is about a ½” long X ¼: wide X ¼” deep. How do I fix this area, I was thinking about using epoxy or is it really needed, maybe use some extra sealer? Looks like there’s a little damage where the throttle body goes also. I don't want to buy a new one as funds or short.

Like others said...need pics...

But it can *potentially* be repaired with some JB liquid weld or high temp silicone.
