Default repairing pin sized hole in brand new cdm aluminum dual core radiator

so i waitied to get this freeknig radiator so i can drive me car. put it on and find a nasty oil leak. to fix the oil leak i gotta take the radiator out and some how i poked a small pin sized hole into it. now i am pissed. i figiure id just take it to some place that can weld alunimun, but i am not sure if its too small or to thin to weld. i was going to try to find some type of epoxy or liquid steel or something but once it gets pressure it prob gonnna blow

I fixed a hole in an aluminum DSM side mount on a tube. Anything is possible to fix. Just weld it. I know you still have that syncrowave.

jb weld FTW. its held for 2 months now. countless heat cycles. i even blew a upper radiator hose from not having pressure release tank and the jb weld held.
