Take it to a shop. I’ve been down this road, using a vacuum pump and gauges to do it right. The charge needs to be within a pretty narrow window for optimal cooling, and unless you’re going to do it right you risk more harm than good.

If you ever consider using that "stop leak" stuff, be careful. It worked for my condenser but it buggered up my expansion valve (stuck closed). $14 for a new one on RockAuto but a nightmare to access and replace.
