It's the time of year where people look to get their air conditioning systems up and running, after finding they no longer work. Some may be tempted by cans offering to top up the refrigerant AND add a leak sealer in too.
This video includes some images of why that's not a good idea;

The pipe and the compressor are particularly horrific to those sensitive to such things!
If you do use one of these kits, please do write on the slam panel, or use a sticker to say the gloop is in there.
Thankfully, the systems I look after are all fitted to family cars, and so, I know there's no nasty gloop lurking within!
I'm also quite impressed about the sealant detection system - that's quite a well thought out, simple and cheap method. The epitomy of good engineering IMO.
