Ah, I dunno, but thanks for the tip in any case; never thought to leave the
cap off to keep the pressure from blowing out the temp patch.

Also plan the route home so you have frequent safe places to stop, so
the coolant doesn't boil and blow out.

There is a type of very sticky, high-temp duct tape that is claimed to
work on radiator hoses. I don't know how well it actually works
because nothing has leaked since I started carrying it.

Maybe that's the answer; be prepared and trouble will look elsewhere.
