What moved me to look at the Foolproof Method was the fact that the WVO

I have had the same problems with titration. My digital PH meter
(i have 2 now) have both been calibrated with a 7 and 10 solution.
My Solution of 1gm caustic and 1000ml distilled H2O has a PH of
12.2. When I put 1 ml of wvo in 99% IPA then try to titrate with the
caustic soln. I only get about 0.
