Follow the instructions on the bottle is what I would do.  I seem to remember that you need to put the whole bottle in.

Make sure you shake it well before use, otherwise it tneds to be watery followed by thick sludge!!

Or a tin of Barrs Leaks- works slightly more cleverly than RadWeld.

Or buy the rad ive got for sale on ebay, see for sale section for link

whats the reason for using it?

we use it often as a temperary repair in our generators, but it does gum up your water system, and we often have to have our rads recored when they come off hire.

i would recommend flushing your system and repairing waht evers leaking as soon as poss.

Patch the hole with chemi metal.  Works for MM.

I have used in the audi on occasion in tiny quantities to get a steam leak I have someplace.

It utterly failed on the Suzuki although to be far, it did grumble to dust when we removed the rad.

I think that the leak should be repaired properly - radweld is a temp get you thing really isnt it?
