Capping off thermostatic valve

[Rick Sanchez]

Hi

I am having a room skimmed and need to take the radiator off the wall while this occurs. It has a thermostatic valve with a 1/2 " thread fitted, however I don't have a cap to seal it off. Can I just jam some washes and a few pennies into the cap and screw it on to stop it from leaking?

Looks like the room was last decorated with them in situ! Nice pastel lilac colour!
Not sure if was going to be a boy or a girl perhaps?
