    Hello all! I have a quick question…..if my waterbased edge control’s PH is good (around 6 before adding a ph balance ingredient)….would I necessarily need to add a Ph balancer or can it be eliminated from my formula?

    Some products can have pretty drastic pH drift over time, depends on your system. The best way to tell is through testing. You could make one sample with buffer, one without, and leave  them in the same conditions for a few weeks. Compare pH of both every week or so
