Default 1997 honda accord SE Overheating

i recently bought this accord, and when i bought it on the top of the radiator, there was a crack that was covered with JB-Weld. well, the JB-Weld was pretty old, and was starting to crack as well, so i would have to fill my water up every other day. yesterday i decided to Re-JB Weld my radiator, and let it sit over night. this morning i was driving, and my car over heated. the car cannot be on for more then 5 minutes without the temp guage going into red. HELP ME!!!

(Note: ive taken off the JB weld to make the crack again, but it is still overheating, and i dont know what to do!)

what someone fix there car right? that can't be done. hahahahahahahhaha!!! any who yes replace the thing its like 75 bucks new at most. As far as it over heating your probably just low on coolant. Not holding the proper pressure, or you got some jb weld in the system gunking it up. If the last is the case hahaha aren't you glade you saved money instead of just replacing the radiator in the first place. now all it is going to cost you is a new motor. thats if that is the case.
