That would work, but since he has recently purchased a pH meter it sounded
to me like he wants to know how to use that. I too would be interested in
knowing what the standard volume of water and quantity of paper used for
this test. This "should" be a more accurate, but less convenient approach
than the testing solutions you mention.
