The kit includes fine sand paper for cleaning/roughing up the surface and an alcohol wipe for final cleaning. After you've prepped the area with the included materials, you cut a piece of fiberglass mesh (included) to size. Mix up the two part epoxy resin in its plastic bag, cut off the end of the bag and spread some of the epoxy on the crack. Apply the fiberglass mesh and cover with the rest of the epoxy. Use the supplied brush to make sure everything is smoothed out nicely. Then wait about 30 minutes to cure.
The only thing not in the kit was scissors to cut the fiberglass and open the plastic bag of mixed epoxy.
My PWR radiator is on its way . . . $500 shipped.

Good luck with the band aid, mine held up for about a week before it started leaking again.
