you will destroy your engine in pretty short order if you do.

Don't know if you have a weep or flattened radiator but if you can locate hole and its small enough, try some chemical metal. Just make sure you prep the area properly. Worth a punt and only cheap. If it was roadside and you had to get it home you'd give it a go wouldn't you.
Never give up without a fight but don't do your radiator "omit" trick.....least you tried to think of an idea and that's something.
I wouldn't recommend Rad Weld as it could contaminate your waterways...some might disagree but that's just me.
Best of luck
