JoyfulNoise 2011 Recipe to Test Borates

[GoodFortune]

Hello. I had a gunite pool built recently & joined TFP. I’ve seen that there was a recipe around 2011 for testing borates by “balancing” a 50 ml sample on the speed stir and adding bromynthol blue and some of the other reagents for better accuracy than a test strip. Unfortunately, I cant find the thread with the actual “recipe” and steps to follow. Can anyone share? Thanks!

Maybe it's time that test got documented somewhere in the WIKI where it can be found and referenced more easily.
(I have a printed copy that lives in my test kit..)
