Question ? Air worked and was cold and then added stop leak and it blew hot

I don't know what's going on. Air worked cool and was charged and guy said it could use alittle more coolant and stop leak for very slow leak. So after adding it air doesn't work and is blowing hot. Guy says compressor is bad or clutch or something. I believe if that's the case the stop leak caused my system to go bad. I'm in shop now. We will see. I'm PO'ed. They shouldn't sell that if it causes damage. I think stop leak account should pay my bill at the least. Angie mad and stressing in Missouri and it's humid. Heat gives me migraines to top it off. Comments. Anyone have this happen to them?

I just had this happen to me today. I put stop leak in the system yesterday and the a/c was cold, then this morning it's blowing hot. All I know is the clutch still works but I don't know what the problem is yet. What brand of stop leak did you use?
