The problem with using any off the counter plastic repair kits is that the thermal expansion factor of the repair kit must match the source material exactly or the patch will pop off. On top of that, the radiator is under pressure so any flexible repair material will probably leak. You could leave the radiator cap loose and drive carefully until you get a new one.
