Leaking Steam Radiator Repair

Jean-David Beyer

Any suggestions (products) to repair a leak between one radiator section? It may have been dropped while being painted. I heard J-B Weld may be a solution. Does not appear to be cracked. Any suggestions or fixes other than replacement? Appreciate all responses, Thank you.

You should be good w/JB weld it holds up well to high heat and stays flexible, make sure you clean the area good first

Have you checked the if the connecting rods are tight? "'dropped in painting" might have popped the sections apart if the rods were not tight. Otherwise JB should work if you get down to the bare metal to give it a good starting point.
