I've got a radiator that has a pin hole leak. The pin hole is where the top piece meets the body of the radiator.  I had the radiator shop fix it once before, but was thinking about fixing it myself this time. Any suggestions?

most rads can be fixed with a propane torch & solder , make sure you clean the area , use flux & do not get it too hot

An old friend also mentioned using propane torch & solder. Sounds like the way to go. Any good products on the market?

I assume the solder will work to fix when the frame top has broke loose from the tank too?
