Is this product suitable for repairing an aluminum radiator?

I wouldn't...too much heat needed to make the solder flow,your flux will burn before the solder flows and youll melt surrounding material and the solder will just run off.

I would say most likely. Check in your owners manual to see if your car calls for G12 coolant, which is aluminum engine safe.

The herculiner label says it will, haven't used it on aluminum but I wouldn't hesitate to.

Though I'm not an expert on the physical properties of various metals, I would guess that the aluminum core radiator works more efficiently, explaining its prevalent use(not considering cost of materials of course), in auto, auto-racing, aircraft, and air-conditioning industries.

Works good on 70 year old window casings. Better than harsh chemicals. I suspect it will work on iron radiators.

I doubt it very much... I would think tape or windshield star repair a better temporary choice.

glad u asked. i used this in my 1965 mustang radiator. worked for a while until i spotted leaks again within 3 miles. i just bought a new aluminum radiator and had it installed, nice job about $550.00 kseal just did not deliver goof results.

I doubt it will work on ALL vehicles like exotics, antiques, or air cooled but the afapterd should fit on 90 or more percent of radiators on cars in service today. Worked perfectly w my 2012 honda fit and 1995 nissan altima.

My husband had used it to solder a pot metal carb back together, however he said it should be since it is solder and solder usually is. :)

No. This oil would degrade rapidly and most likely start forming a build up that would kill your radiator. Water Wetter as was previously suggested is the way to go, plus I don't think you'd pass tech if you had this in your rad.

Maybe but if you can it would be better to take it to a radiator shop to have the leak fixed. Next best thing I would try is stop leak. Auto parts stores sell it especially for radiator leaks.JB water weld worked on my hot water tank for about 2 years until the hole rusted out more.

Yes , it's aluminum . Almost all are after mid 80's . The warning has to do with aluminum blocks , more than radiators .Most commonly used in small imports.Your is iron , flush away .

Yes just be sure the area is very clean and degreased. I am using it for my intake gasket and also for steam engine gaskets.

Yes, I used this a bit ago to repair the t100ta-b1-gr for my aunt. Remember to use heat to remove the original glue around the broken glass, otherwise it breaks into imperceptibly small shards that will haunt you for weeks. I'm not joking - you'll find the little shards when you least expect it, or when is least convenient. No additional tools were supplied despite the advertisement in my case.

Most radiators today are made of aluminum and plastic. Permatex 80030 is a strong acid cleaner. Suggest you not use it in a aluminum radiator.

I would not try that. This is for reinforcement of aluminum tape used on A/C ductwork. Sorry, but I don't know what would work in your situation, but talk with someone at the hardware store. If they don't know, they could point you in the right direction.

I honestly don't know. Probably works for stick-on tiles but I wouldn't trust its long-term use on pipes or radiators the same as silicon.
