Last night on the way home from work I put the A/C on and it was very weak. By the time I had driven the 8 miles home the car was still not cooled off and the receiver was still warm. I put in leak-check floresing dye and 12 oz of R134. I had planned to pick up a black light at my local auto-parts store to look for the dye. No go! The two I hit on the way to work don't have any. Any one suggest another possible local source for a black light, (UV source)?

At least I had cooling this morning so the leak isn't big enough to loose the charge overnight. My compressor and receiver are only a couple years old but, the the rest of the system is original. When I changed the cooling radiator a couple months ago I saw the A/C condensor was looking "old".
