Will this product work to repair a cast iron hot water radiator?

I think it will. The only problem I see is the heat. JB Weld has held up to everything else I have thrown at it. Balancing its small cost against the risk of failure, my advice is to try it. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work but you still have partial tubes of the stuff for the future. It is always handy to have around!

I would have my doubts. It didn't work well with heat applications for me. When it gets too hot it seems to get soft.It may depend on how hot it gets . . . not sure. I would probably try solder for that. (?) Dale

No it will not. I understand you want aluminum/zinc to aid with that. However it might be worth reading about this issue on waterheaterrescue dot com (i'm just a customer, not affiliated) for their advice related to various options.

It probably will, but this is designed for thermal transfer for attaching heat sinks. You would be better off getting some two part epoxy.

yea I used an iron with heat tip to repair caps on some old monitors. The solder worked very well.

If it's plastic, it's probably ABS. Not much sticks to ABS. I'd bet the expansion and contraction from the heat and pressure would work it loose. The best thing for ABS is the plumbing cement made specifically for ABS pipe. If the radiator is metal, the Water Weld will work great. Just make sure it's clean and roughed up. Give it at least 12 hours to cure.

Yes this should work. Make sure to use moldable sealant on the connections.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think it would. All it does is recharge the coolant. It won't fix anything that's broken.

If this is a closed hot water system, I would think that it should work. I use it in a motor home Aqua Hot hot water heating system. Hope this helps.

I bought this one because I have an aluminum radiator. It would probably work in any radiator to be honest. The link below should provide some more info.http://barsproducts.com/product-selection

I think that this should work well for this repair. Even if it is on the bottom where water repellent is important. This has worked very well on my rain fly

I bet this would work. Personally I would glue or epoxy the leaky spot first though.

It depends where; if the spot is located where it will be exposed to hot water, it may not hold up. If it is located in an area where there is no direct contact with water it may work. I would try it; it will not hurt anything

Purchase a tube of Faultless brank "Hot Iron Cleaner." Follow instructions and this should help.

Be sure to rough up both surfaces before trying to glue them together and I think you have a good chance at it working. My plastic radiator repair is still holding under pressure and in wet environment.

Hi Carolyn.... No, it won't repair a hole. It is basically liquid porcelain that fixes a chip that you have in the porcelain cover that is put on over the cast iron.

I'd try it. I have since used it to fabricate a missing dishwasher rack wheel. It has held up to the weight and the heat so far. Clean the area well...mix the product well...and let sit to cure for 12 hours...not sure if it will hold under that kind of pressure .
