pinhole in steam radiator

My radiator in my bedroom has a pinhole in it. It squeels everytime the heat is on. How can I seal this hole? I also want to know what pressure I should have on the shut off for a two story house?

    Remove all paint and rust around the hole. Clean with a strong solvent. Apply JB Weld. Of course the radiator can't get steam until the JB Weld is cured.
