This happened to me last year, but I had read that the consensus
after several tries was that no epoxies would hold long-term
(more than a few weeks). Their were some interesting adhesives
tried, though.

I bit the bullet and replaced the radiator, even though I could
have just used the 1" remaining neck to attach the hose. I wanted
it done anyway.
