T&T: AC Stop Leak

[Frank Burrows]

I know there are a some knowledgeable air conditioning people on this forum 
and this question is directed at them. I know enough about air conditioning 
to be dangerous. I have a persistent leak in the salon ac unit. This is a 
16,000 Marine Air split unit. For the last couple of years I have been 
trying to solve this issue. It requires freon22 three time a year. The 
local ac tech is touting a sealer, particularly one described at
http://www.cliplight.com/hvacr/products.php?catID=27

My instincts tell me to run away from this solution. One of my neighbors 
with the same boat had a similar problem but has gone a year and a half 
after the sealer was installed. Several other dock mates have used the 
sealer without problems and it has apparently solved slow leak issues.

My question is should I let the guy install the sealer or hold out for a 
more conventional fix?

thanks
