sealers are generally a bad idea - always best to fix the real problem.

They do have their place though, and in certain circumstances are a good fix - (my own car for instance was given several years more life thanks to similar)

very much NOT a one size fits all approach though.  They can do more harm than good.

Yes, emergency only.

Plus they wont sort out a leaking HBV because as the diaphragm  moves it will break the sealer.

yes, and then only in certain circumstances,

for instance my old blue car had a weeping core plug.

radweld kept that together for years.
it did however block the heater matrix too....
