How much technology is involved with plugging a hole? If the material is designed to plug holes, that is what it will do. How does it know the difference between a hole in a radiator or a hole that coolant passes through? How does it know the difference between where coolant is leaking and where it is supposed to flow freely?
Nothing will ever convince me that there is some magic formula that knows the difference between a heater core passage and a hole in a CORE PLUG.
After having had the privilege of flushing a few heater cores in freezing weather so that the heater will start working again, I learned to dislike stop leak products.
The whole mechanic in a can thing is just taking the easy way out.
Instead of doing a proper repair, folks want something simple and quick and cheap. Laziness? Get something in a can instead of doing the work. Cheapness?

Just pour something in the oil, coolant, power steering, or transmission to avoid a more proper and permanent repair. I've spent half of a lifetime cleaning up the messes that result from cheapo "fixes" that don't work.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony.
