My husband has been using ground pepper for minor radiator leaks. Has anyone else heard of doing this in an emergency?
Using ground pepper spice for minor radiator leaks

Yup, many times including a week ago when my rad started leaking 25 miles from the nearest house while i=on vacation. It stopped the leak at the end of a core and made it back a couple hundred miles home.
I am going to remove the rad before winter and solder up the leaky core, but 'really' didn't want to have to do it on my camping vacation. (I carry the tools)
