Apparently the new K-Seal "Ultimate" product uses "ceramic micro-fibres" (not copper as used in the standard K-Seal product)

The blurb on the product page (LINK HERE) says :-

"Will K-Seal ULTIMATE damage or clog my engine?

No. Part of the strict requirements of ASTM D3147 is that a coolant stop leak product should pass through a filter of 0.85mm without clogging or gelling. This ensures that the product will not block even the narrowest passageways in the cooling system. "

From reading the rest of the blurb, it may be a better product for leaky WBX head seals (though still not a proper job I grant you)

It is expensive at around £38 and you might need 2 bottles for our large capacity cooling systems (citation needed there) but they offer a money back guarantee. Apparently, if after using it, you then need to have a "proper repair", all you have to do is send them a copy of the receipt for the repair and they will refund the full cost you paid for the product. That seems fair enough.

I wonder how easy it would be to get a refund in reality

Ceremic micro fibres aka pulverised rockwool.
I have used the very stuff in desperation before, it eventually all collects in on place (not necessarily the site of any leak)
Marginal effectiveness at best. Save your money and just put an egg white in the coolant system.
