Anyone tried JB Weld or similar on a tiny pinhole in radiator? Hole is on the outer edge of one of the vertical tubes. Debating whether it's worth a try, or just take it and have it welded. The hole is maybe .5mm X 1mm. Brand new, never filled radiator. Don't ask how that happened...

Is there someone locally who can hit it with a weld real fast? Maybe it's not worth risk if it's easy to fix proper.

Another vote for ICW. They're in NC and have quick turn-around time.

Ive used JB weld before and it held up fine as long as I didnt crash on it again. If you use it, make sure you clean the area beforehand really good and allow it the proper amount of time to cure. Downside is that you probably wont be able to get the JB weld off good enough if you want to go back and have it welded.
