radiator is patched

[hangingon]

A friend told me about a product called Q Bond. I used it on the radiator and it seems to have worked. I took the quad out for a little trial riding and my daughter rode it for a while so far it appears to not be leaking. Now to get in some ride time.

I am going to say its ok for now but dont use it as a permanent solution. Get a new radiator when you can.

Mario I'm not going too call it fixed but patched. Rads are pretty high in price from 300 to 500 is what I have seen. I checked e bay. I should have kept the spare I had from the parts quad I had bought. The guy I sold it to I can't seem to get a hold of. Big if I run into him I might be able too buy it back. The Q bond is what my friend uses at his body shop I had never heard of it till then he guled an air hose with it that runs a 175 psi and it has held up. He had a demo kit and said he used it to glue all kinds of things togather he said if it broke it would be a new break and not the glud joint. I plan on getting a radiator but this will get me back to riding.

At least it gets you riding! Hopefully you can get the radiator on the cheap and have a rad shop boil it and inspect it. Ride it with the q-bond till it leaks but have the radiator on hand so there isnt much down time Or if it takes a while for it to leak again, put some q-bond in your backpack for the trails.

Hows your body parts healing?? Cant Q- Bond them

I'm doing pretty good the hand still gives me problems after the surgery. Trying to do auto body work & running a DA & hand sanding is very hard on my hand and neck. If my wife gets approved for disabilty I can quit. The friend I work for understands and knows I have to take a break when I can't hold on to the tools or sandpaper. The Q bond wont work out on the trial it has to be clean & dry. I will sooner or later find a radiator. The Q bond is no joke it's not one of these as seen on tv and it's not cheap 37.00 is the shop cost thru the paint shop suppiler you get 6 small bottles of glue & 3 bottles of the powder.
