Squashed Radiator?

So, my bike seems to be running very hot and I thought to inspect the impeller if it not maybe spinning freely from the shaft.

Then I noticed.... the damn epoxy I used to build up the corroded areas became soft and started to break loose... also the hammerite was coming off!! :wall::(

The epoxy is rated -35'C to 150'C - is that not enough? Or could it be the coolant (Motul Motocool Organic) that's causing this?

Man I'm so dejected, I'm going to have to redo the entire job :(

I just discovered damage to my brand new 2021 430 RR-S, but 4 months after taking it home from the dealer. They told me then can't put in a claim after it leaves their store. I haven't even ridden the bike yet and now have to pay for a radiator. Nice. Another dealer in Ontario said they had a bike come in from Italy with a squashed radiator, but replaced it under warranty when it was discovered on the PDI.
