As epoxy goes, it GOOD stuff. But the radiator is under pressure so I'd want more than "good" stuff.

I'd be afraid to use it on a radiator for more than a day or 2. When the stuff cures, it becomes a brittle-fracture material for the most part. With little or no warning your repair will blow wide open.

Thumbs up Hi Member

There is a product at your local AutoZone stores that goes by the name Liquid Steel..
Clean it, spread it on like glue, let it cure..then you can even sand it , gring it, and paint it ..works great..It becomes a Liquid Steel..I've used it quite often on all kinds of projects...

It depends on the location, on mine I had a leak on the top at the seam and i triedjb weld it held for a few days but it did not hold, like someone stated earlier the radiator is under alot of pressure so this wll probably not last long. I found a radiator for $100 bucks at a local parts store.
