Hello,
Was hoping to get a little advice. I have bought a reclaimed cast iron radiator and have just had it fitted. It started leaking pretty much straight away around the bottom of the radiator (between the 1st & 2nd ribs). The leak is very minor, and at first was a drip every 5 minutes or so, but this has reduced to a drip every few hours, if that!
The reclamation company has agreed to swap the radiator, but I was wondering if I could use some sort of sealer e.g. Fernox Super Concentrate Leak Sealer, to avoid having to get the rad removed and replaced as we'd have to re-spray the new rad too and this could be a cheaper alternative.
Has anyone had any luck with this sealer? I can always send the radiator back if it doesn't work.
Thanks in advanced for your help!
