Radiator pin hole leak

Found a couple of pin hole leaks. What can I use to patch them ? JB weld ?

I believe the radiator is original with 175K.

Drain the rad and clean the areas with a scotch brite pad and JB weld em. Mines has been like that for almost two years

I can't think of the name of the stuff but at napa he told me it would set up under water. I'll look in my tool box tomorrow if you want the name. I put a couple of holes in mine when I pulled the radiator and this stuff worked great, held for years.
