It would leak out over a couple of days so I tried this, thinking "it doesn't work anyways!" this spring. It did fix the leak, but made poor cooling and high suction pressures, normal head pressure.

Was looking at pictures of plugged orifice tubes online and saw another like this, maybe this isn't the stop leak but aluminum particles built up from the compressor failing?
Will order a new condenser coil, have new compressor, accumulator, orifice tube, gaskets/o rings, oil that came in a kit from autozone.
Will flush the evaporator and hoses/lines.
Holding off until new condenser arrives and have flush gun and solvent.
