Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section. It seemed to be the best fit.
I have a commercial coldplate freezer which has a couple of small leaks according to the company that just serviced it. The leaks are located in the very small refrigeration compartment and they said they cant get to the leak because its in the very back of the compartment. The leak or leak are small and refrigerant needs to be added about every 6-8 weeks. I cant afford the the $1500-2500 repair right now. Ive heard you can use cold weather epoxy on the joints / leak area as a temp fix. Is this true ? I am EPA certified but havent worked for a company in almost 8 years so most of what I knew then has left me.
Also: I have r414b to add to the system when it gets to low. The tech said to add it in liquid form and just crack open the valve and add very slowly. Does that sound right?
