Biggest problem with >10% peroxide is a shipping. Here it have status of a danger chemical and post office cannot deliver it due to their intern regulations :( So even webshops dont have it for sale. I need to take a trip to the city for every bottle.

EDIT: and its really dangerous, if you leave bottles in a car on sunny day it can explode! Happened to my friend, fortunately it leaked only a little so no damage, but it was a big "POW!" :D
Maybe this should be written into the wiki i guess

Aussie users can get the 12% hydrogen peroxide in a 1 litre bottle from Priceline (just ask for hydrogen peroxide to bleach hair 120mL/L) for $9, and the "oxy" being referred to is Sards stain remover powder with oxy ( Big W $9 for too much of the stuff)

Formulation and applications details are on the website. I am thinking to have a go myself.

The only problem is, if I start buying large quantities of 12% H2O2, you can bet a tactical squad will be busting down my door in no time :lol:


As Mr Retr0brite (Merlin) is based in Manchester UK himself you might want to ask him if he could provide you with a case whitening service. Might be an idea to contact him to see if he is willing to do so for a reasonable fee.

Who knows, it could turn into a lucrative niche business for the guy. :D

Hey TJ,

I found the 20 & 30 volume at a local Sally Beauty Supply.  I personally have found the lower percent stuff works just as well it just takes a little longer.  As for the Oxyclean Versatile - you can find that at Albertson's or Bartell's Drugs here in the Northwest as well as other places.

For rubber cables, etc and other parts I find that just the Oxyclean works wonders.  It really cleans things up just watch some types of printed lables (takes the ink off sometimes).

Why did someone find the above post offensive enough to send me a Neg rep for it? All I done was suggest an idea to a friend. What's wrong with that.:confused:

Some People. :crazy:

Great point Chain!  

I had some of the Peroxide/Oxyclean mixture left that I was going to reuse and poured it back in the the original plastic bottles. BAD IDEA!!!  Even with the cap left loose they blimped up and I was lucky that they didn't explode!  I was glad that I always try to work outside for that very reason.

Now I store in a non-airtight container. ;)

Because there is a small number of total nonce's floating around these parts, the sooner Wayne get's his nonce broom out the better :lol:

Surely you now can see who it was, right? Rep remarks are no longer anonymous...

Sure, but I've given him a chance to explain before I get out the old Nonceometer. :lol:

Back on topic, have you considered my suggestion earlier in this thread?

A computer whitening service might prove to be more popular than teeth whitening is. :roflmao:
