I don't know for sure, but can't you just get a radiator flush kit to get out the sludge? It's worth asking the guy at the parts house about. In such extreme cases of cooling system sludge build up, I would take it to a shop for a professional flushing and cleansing. I would suggest a car radiator specialist type shop - they'll know how to NOT cause more damage to the system. See "Related Questions" below for more about flushing it yourself
Does using radiator stop leak cause the coolant in the overflow tank to look like sludge?
Yes, stop leak turns into a thick substance to plug any leaks, when it ends up in the overflow bottle it turns into sludge there.
