Have a radiator with a small but noticeable shallow dent in it.
I was going to just swap it out as I'm about to redecorate the room anyway, but since the radiator is a bit big (about 8 feet wide) hefty, and in otherwise good condition, I wondered if anyone has any success in using some sort of filler on one?
I suppose it would need to be a flexible filler a bit like the stuff used on car bodywork, but don't know if/how it would cope with the temperature changes. Thoughts?
TIA. Midge.
Erm! a radiator shelf type cover.

No personal experience but in my opinion Loctite Plastic Padding should be fine because car body panels will be subject to more extreme temperature changes (and vibration) than will a steel central heating radiator. The hot water reaching radiators will usually reach about 60 degrees C, similar to a car body panel in direct sunlight.
================================ Lead loading, which is the more traditional car body filler, would do the job if the value of the radiator made it worthwhile. This involves 'sweating' a lead filler similar to solder onto bare metal.

Thanks for the advice all.
