Default A/C leak... anyone use those leak-enders in a can??

anyone have any experience with those leak plugger uppers in a can? anyone see any downsides to this product: ie damage to a/c components, etc? The leak is in the evap coils of my 1994 benz. they gotta remove the whole dash and quoted around $4000.00 for the job. I smell ripoff... but I'm jus wondering if this stuff in the can actually works... or if i can potentially damage my A/C system. I hope not. ur thoughts greatly appreciated.

I have used leak seal in several older cars that I recharged, no issues to date. You still have to have preasure in the system before you use this and top off the freon, If the preasure is gone, you have a BIG leak, then source needs to be fixed and a vacuum should be pulled to remove moisture from the system.
