"unique" field expedient radiator repair technique

[Ross]

looks like a lot of effort, I have just pinched and rolled the tubes before and it held all the way home from a vacation once.

I'm with Jeff, at least for road cars.
A temp. repair shouild be simple and fast. If the method involves removal why not relace the rad? For the cost of the hotel room you'll need waiting for the JB weld to harden you could buy a rad for some cars.
I'd use Jeff's method of pinching and rolling the tubes for big damage or just toothpicks in the holes and Bar's Leaks for old corroded ones.
Anyone here ever try the egg?

Never tried the egg, did try the pepper trick with no luck.
