There is nothing that will mix & will work as a refrigerant.
Based on your tests, I'd say that your friend's system is low. There is
no way of knowing how fast R12 will leak out without dumping a can in.
One good sign is that fact that he has some refrigerant in his system.

Its the same as duracool, or is supposed to be. I have tried duracool
but not the new name. The last batch of duracool I got must have been
bad or something as it didnt work worth a darn.

I've used their HC-22 product to top off industrial cooling units. So
far, so good.
I have not yet tried their HC-12a product.

Isn't that just regular old R134a?

I understand this problem
what I did was to use a gas that I found out was a refrigerant it was of
all things computer key board cleaner... I have a side can tap so it worked
just like the r 12
I had a major leak and it was easy to find actually I needed to blow old
oil and debris out o
The good ol boys down south use propane.
it's a great refrigerant, just don't wreck the car. or smoke.
ka-boom.

I'm certainly no expert, but I'd be inclined to wait until I could put
some gauges on it, or even pay someone a few bucks to reliably tell me
what kind of pressure the system's seeing. My recollection is that
with R-12 you need to add enough to eliminate the bubbles.
