Paul,

That Bromcresol Green pen only measures to about 5.6 on the pH scale.

Would a chemical such as Bromcresol purple be a better indicator 
since it measures to 6.8?

I thought that in regard to "acid-free", we were looking for a pH of 
7.0 +/- .5 .

I'm talking in general terms here, not neccessarily about Silver Rag 
here. I was going to post this question to you and logged on and saw 
this post.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Scott
