Default pin sized hole in cdm aluminum radiator

some how i poked a pin sized hole in my brand new cdm ebay aluminum radiator. i was going to take it to get welded but i am not sure if the metal is to thin. are there any trust worthy epoxy's or anything to patch the hole or should i try to get it welded. i mean the radiator was only 80 new, worse comes to worse ill get another one.

I did that on my wifes radiator. I just welded shut with out problems. It takes so little to weld that, I don't see any problems with welding it.
