Is that different from the super leak stop they sell separately that may jam the AC?

That leak sealer stuff is all the same. It makes the o rings swell. I've never had it really stop a leak for me. I'm not so sure its harmful either. When people say stop leak it makes me think of the coolant system stop leak which is very harmful.

Mine is at the dealership right now waiting on parts. Quit working last summer and they recharged and added dye. Not working again this summer and they said evaporator had a slow leak. The "kit" to replace the evaporator is coming form 4 places including Germany. Unlike Mass. I need AC in Louisiana.

It's leaking out *somewhere*. Figure out where that is, and then start replacing parts. You m If they put UV dye in it, grab a blacklight and look at every AC line you can. The dye should light up bright green under the blacklight.
Start in the engine bay and look at all the places where lines connect, then the condenser (might have to pull the bumper cover). Jack the car up and look at the underside of the compressor. Check the air vents in the car too - if you see any green UV dye there (imagine a mist), suspect the evaporator.
