ya I used something similar to stop leak when I had a small leak, it was made by prestone and was an aluminized powder, it worked for a few months but then I had to replace the rad but its a good band-aid fix til you have to replace the entire rad if you are strapped for cash.

Lots of guys probably would not recommend using any type of stop leak stuff but I gave it a try.
