Dave,
I have no experience with that type of product, but I did recently have to get the radiator on my B7100 fixed. It turns out that radiator shops are an endangered species. Most new vehicles use aluminum radiators with plastic top and bottom tanks. These are not repairable, and so business is getting worse and worse for the radiator shops. The other thing is the acid dip tanks they use create a large hazardous waste problem. So, if you still have a local radiator shop, you may want to get it soldered quick, before they go out of business.

Seems that way around here too. We don't have one in town anymore. Have to drive up to next one. (Course, seems we don't have much in town anymore unless it is at Wally World)
Have you ever saw a young guy repairing radiators at a shop????

Steve,
No I haven't, although the old guy that used to do them here was pretty young for his age. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif It does take some training, or else you're gonna open up the nice joint you just soldered when you do the next one. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
