Scary stuff? would you use this stuff? remembering that we use it at concentrations of around 150,000 ppm "in concentrations of as low as 0.2 ppm. Coughing and vomiting may occur at 30 ppm and lung damage at 60 ppm. About 1000 ppm can be fatal after a few deep breaths of the gas.[3] Breathing lower concentrations can aggravate the respiratory system, and exposure to the gas can irritate the eyes.[34] The toxicity comes from its oxidizing power. When inhaled at concentrations above 30 ppm, it begins to react with water and cells, which change it into hydrochloric acid (HCl) and hypochlorous acid (HClO).
When used at specified levels for water disinfection, the reaction of chlorine with water is not a major concern for human health. However, other materials present in the water may generate disinfection by-products that can damage human health.[35][36] yep good old SH (chlorine)
If I had a choice between SH and peroxide I personally would chose peroxide, but I don't have a choice! and peroxide is never used at 70% concentration except for extreme industrial uses, 10% to 30% in the usual concentrations
My point is, every thing that we are all using right now today can be harmful to us, be careful and smart and think about what we are handling

Good Point Martin, even too much Fosters will harm you
Yeah, can anyone imagine what 70% SH would be like?
Lots of things can be dangerous. We pump our cars full of explosive gas without a second thought. There are definitely ways to handle things safely. But I think one definitely needs to know very well what they are doing.
If a 35% strength touches wood it begins to smoke. I am picking up some tomorrow to play around with. 35%...Wonder how white that would make my teeth...lol

I have been looking at using a combination of Sodium Carbonate Peroxyhydrate and Calcium Carbonate along with a "carrier" aka detergent.
But so far nothing to report.

sodiun percarbonate is used to wash wood with low pressure, I undrstand that has no seal, stain etc on it. Just gray wood. I pull out the guns on all wood and use hydroxide. Ive never messed with percarbonate. I have some?

It is not the destination, but the journey. You may never find anything better then SHC, but what you will learn along the way will be fun. I have had 100 dead ends, for every discovery, but enjoyed them all.
