You have to be careful repairing rads with heat as they tend to fall apart.
They are usually made/repaired with them partially submerged in water.
I don't like liquid metal type products because of the heat from the rad, but they might work.

JB Weld is your friend, two part plastic metal. Then if that doesn't work, buy a new one.  Cheers Ray

(1) Any old metalised epoxy will do -- try Pound Shops.
(2) Add approx 1/3 of a container of K-Seal to the coolant -- unlike old fashioned coolant leak stoppers it won't cause problems with blockages
in your engines coolant passages.

Just a quick update: Araldite actually did the trick in the end - No leaks!
Going to get a new rad anyway, as a longer term solution as this one is now FUBAR!
