I've used Q-Bond with great success.

http://qbond.net/

My local body shop supply company recommended it.  I even patched a buddies
radiator with it, and it's still working after 2 months...

Cheers,

Jeff

Haven't tried this stuff, but it looks to be the same as cyanoacrylate
(Crazy Glue) and common baking soda.  I've used this combination for years.
Just sprinkle baking soda on the bead of liquid and you have a rock hard
glue bead.  Don't use the gel crazy glue, it's too thick and won't absorb
with the baking soda, which will leave you a blob of crazy glue with no
baking soda "dissolved" in it.
