The lower TA gets the harder it is to increase pH. Which is why you want to talk lower in the first place. Right? Adding borates will make it even harder to move TA and pH.
So, patience is good right now. Are you lowering pH to 7.0 or 7.2? You can lower it now from 7.6 to 7.0 if you want to keep it going. It is easier to raise PH from 7.2 to 7.6 than it is from 7.6 to 7.8.
TMI, you can sleep through this part if you want.
The pH scale is logarithmic so the farther you get away from 7.0 the bigger the jump between numbers. 7.0 to 7.2 is a smaller jump than 7.6 to 7.8 is.
