Greetings:
This is just a thought. A long time ago, in a vehicle far away, I had a leaking heater core which I did NOT wish to replace, for the obvious labor hassle reasons. I used a LOT of BARS Leak stop leak. This can also clog the rest of the cooling system. After about 24 hours I completely changed the antifreeze solution to eliminate clogging, but the stop leak had cured the heater core. There is a risk that the radiator will get clogged, but it didn't. Even if it did, replacing my older radiator was far easier than the heater core. This was not a Volvo and obviously not the professional restoration method. Goal was to leave the stop leak in just long enough to stop the leak and then get rid of it ASAP before any bad effects occurred. I wouldn't guarantee it would last forever, nor that a rubber hose can be cured this way.
