Petsmart is open and I am heading over there to pickup marine buffer so I can more safely match it.I use tap water to do dips, that way I don't need to buffer it. If you use RODI water, you need to buffer it with baking soda, but make small additions and check the pH closely so that you don't miss the mark. It is going to be a very small amount - perhaps a pinch or two?

thank you again for all the help jay. I will update once I’ve done the dip with any changes
