Renew it or drown.

Your wasting your time with radweld. It does stop the leak until its late at night, snowing and your miles from home. Then it will cost you a fortune. Search 'matrix' on this web and view the task adhead!

I've tried all the usual radwelds and bars leaks etc and the only one I've had any luck with is 'ce-lit'.
It's in a little silver/blue packet and does actually work, it's worth keeping a couple of packets in the glove box for emergencies.
The best cure is replacement obviously but this stuff does work.
