Any AC Gurus? Can I add R134 to an R12 system? 700

There are several DIY products available to recharge R12 and R134A systems. They use a hydrocarbon refrigerant that's more environmentally safe that the freon products above. However, if you ask any A/C shop, they'll tell you the substitute is snake oil or worse. You can't really blame them when they have thousands of dollars invested in R134A equipment. I've read many testimonials from people who resurrected their dead A/C with a hydrocarbon refrigerant kit when going the R134A conversion or recharge route at an A/C shop would have cost half of what their old car is worth. The kits are all over eBay and at various auto parts and Walmart stores for a bit more money.
