Ryan, I have no emperical data, but I would say 15psi qualifies as 'under stress.' at least in my book enough to cause significant long term concern.... If I was a long ways from anywhere, I would certainly give it a try. I to used JBWeld on a fuel leak; it was a bad spot weld on my KLR250 fuel tank; three years later nary a problem...nor was it 'under stress.' revmaaatin.
