Default can both be used?

I think my car (96 vision TSI) has a head gasket leak that is effecting the
coolent system.

Since I can't afford a new head gasket I am thinking of useing one of those
"leak stop" in a bottle solution (which i know is tempoary at best)

But, I also need to do a coolent flush/fill also.

So, my question is.

Can I use both the flush cleaner and the leak stop at the same time?

Or, in otherwords, after draining the old coolent do I first use the cleaner
before the leak stop, or the leak stop before the cleaner?

Or, can only one be used per coolent refill?

Flush it out first, then add the leak stop.
