Anyone ever recharge their A/C before?

I have a 2005 ford focus. Okay so I don't really know anything about cars at all and have never attempted to do anything to my car. Lol so I bought an Artic Freeze synthetic A/C charge with the gauge included. I found the port to hook up to, which is ever so conveniently located on the front passenger side of the splash guard around the wheel. I literally took one screw off and bent the plastic down far enough to get to it. So I hooked the gauge up and it kept fluctuating from empty pretty much (white) to the red before I even added anything in. This scared me because I know it can easily be overcharged. So I added just a little and it began moving even more into the red but returning back to the white. Eventually it stopped fluctuating and resting on the edge of the white and green. And it got harder for me to pull the trigger on the charge can the more it went into the green. I don't know did I do something wrong? Is it broken if it was fluctuating before I even put anything in? Is it normal? I don't know. My A/C isn't really cold either. I mean its colder but not as cold as I would like. I didn't fill it all the way to where the pie shape was either according to the temp outside.

Added (1). Should I add more? Lol

How to locate the evaporator drain line?

I have a 2009 Ford Edge and the evaporator drain line is clogged. How can I locate the drain line on order to try to unclog it? There's so much water trapped in there that I can hear the blower motor squeal when I apply the brakes. I need to get this drained out before the blower motor is damaged. SINCERE Thanks FOR All SERIOUS REPLIES!

-2013-14 Ford F150 Platinum (ecoboost)
-2011-14 Ford Explorer Limited
-2011-14 Ford Edge Limited

Which one should I get? I want to do this so I have something to work on. I also want to learn to repair a vehicle.

How to fix my bumper problem?

I just bought a 93 ford escort GT knowing that there was a little bumper issue. Someone had hit and run the girl i bought it from and it seems as though the front right edge of the bumper was bent upwards and under the headlight on the left side of my car. What i was wondering was if i could use a heat gun to pull the bumper out to regain its old shape? We kinda pulled it out a little and its being held against another piece of the bumper if you can see there in the second picture, if we leave it there long enough will it eventually stay there? Anyway i could use all your help i know nothing about cars, and basically whatever you'd recommend to make it look a little better.
i'm not looking to spend more than i bought it for haha which was only a grand!
thanks! How to fix my bumper problem - 1

Ford KA only blowing hot air?

I have a R reg KA so I expect these problems but this seems like it can be fixed.

It USE to blow only cold air, which is what I want. Recently it's gone back to just hot air and it's unbearable at the moment. I know how to locate the HCV but that's as far as my knowledge goes so I'm hoping someone could advise me on how to open/close the pipes/HCV or whatever, to get it back to blowing just cold air?

What other SUV'S fit my need?

I'm 18 and getting ready for college and its time for a new car. I love the 2011-2014 ford edge but what can I cross shop with? I currently drive a 2002 ford expedition xlt so I want to downsize but I don't want a car. I like the Acura MDX but I'm scared of insurance and maintenance?
