I've never had it plug a radiator which is annoying because the time I used it
I was trying to plug a hole in a radiator. The previous owner of my MB wagon
had used it for the same reason with the same failed results.
In both cases it plugged thermostats. Then it becomes the gift that keeps on
giving because its dammed hard to get the stuff back out... My '88 GMC I became
super adept at replacing thermostats. In the end I could do it in 10 minutes
and lose only a cup of coolant. I always traveled with a spare. Then when I got
home I'd flush the cooling system AGAIN. I must have flushed the system 20
times in the 4 years I drove it after adding the stuff.My wagon I managed to do
a better flush because I got all the stuff out and never clogged another
thermostat but the damage was already done, the head gasket was toast. The car
wasn't worth paying somebody to replace it and I didn't have the facilities,
tools, knowledge or friends at that time to fix it myself...
