It’s already been mentioned but definitly don’t use this stuff. It will clog your heater core. ---

If used as per directions, it works fine. You only need it to hold for a day or 2? If you are getting rid of it who cares about the heater core. If not, be sure to flush the system after repairing correctly. I’ve used it on several winter cars & it stopped leaks ranging from a bad radiator, water pump & a head gasket leak. Can it clog the heater core, sure, but chances are you’ll be fine if you follow directions and don’t go with the attitude that if 12 oz is good, 24 must be better. ---
