********************
If you mean the stuff that is a stick that you break off a portion and
knead with your hands, specifically for radiators - yes - i didn't stick
well enough either - I just got a hold of some metal epoxy that says it
good for 300 degrees - I'm going to try that and see - I figure that maybe
its getting too hot and with the expansion coefficient of aluminum vs the
epoxy it is either softening or cracking the repair loose -
Welding was out because the area was right at the tank where it joins the
core, and epoxy of some kind was used to seal the tubes - which would
probably burn because of the close proximity to the welded area-
