Be very careful applying any heat to the rad the cooling fins and capillaries are most likely soldered with a Lead/Zink solder and a bit too much heat you could end up with a build it yourself radiator kit.
There is a resin putty material out there called Milliput that is brilliant
(I have used it on my Merc door locking system when a pipe snapped on the drivers door lock that works by compressed air).
Milliput did a brilliant job and you can mould it into a great shape so it forms a collar of reinforcement around the joint and can be over painted with a bit of silver or black and you would not see it.
Be sure to mix the two parts very very well together if you go down this route.
I keep a new tube in my shed all the time the stuff is brilliant.
When it sets it is as hard as china.
