So I got my test today. It took 24 drops to get my TA test to stay a sort of reddish. That just doesn't seem right. Not sure how pink its supposed to be. Could use a little guidance.
TF -100 TA test. Need a little guidance.

You just keep adding drops until there is no colour change- then subtract the final drop from your total.

Nice to meet you via TFP 
Yep, full Barbie pink. Only other suggestion I have is to swirl long enough between drops as you get near the end.
For the test, you keep going until no further color change occurs, then don't count the last drop.
Here's the extended test kit directions for TA. You could try playing around with the low sensitivity test (10 ml sample, 1 drop = 25 ppm) which would give you a cross-check for your technique.
Pool School - Total Alkalinity
Incidentally, what is your pH?

Did you read the part about very new kits needing the dropper tip wiped as you apply the drops?
