How do I repair a 2 inch crack on top of my car radiator ('90 Honda)?

Mar 09, 2007 by JT in DC | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I'm thinking about PC-7 or JB Weld; those are pretty killer epoxies ... does anyone know ... can I solder it? Weld it? Krazy Glue?
It is a "hairline crack" ... literally the width of a human hair ... and if I squeeze it with my hand it

A auto parts store carries aluminum weld in a tube that's better than JB Weld. And to get a sure seal, sand down the area (coarsely) and follow directions on the tube.
