- 1). Check the radiator for leaks. Examine the radiator closely and make sure the leaking fluid comes from the radiator and not one of the hoses.
- 2). Locate the hole. If the hole or crack is not clearly visible, fill the radiator with water and check for drips. Once you have located the hole, drain the radiator and dry the area where you found the hole.
- 3). Roughen the area of the hole with sandpaper. This will allow the compound to attach to the radiator. The sealant will harden over the crack and fill the hole.
- 4). Mix the compound with a plastic knife, tongue depressor or other suitable object. If using Quick Steel, mold the compound with your fingers to the right consistency.
- 5). Apply the compound to the hole or crack. To harden, the compound will need to sit undisturbed for a minimum of four hours.
- 6). Refill the radiator with water and check for drips. If no drips are present, drain the radiator and refill with a mixture of water and coolant.
