As an ex-canuck I know how it was - lots of regulations.
I got my 30% H2O2 concentration from a company manufacturing carpet cleaning solutions. It was called "Urine Rescue" and was manufactured by ProChem - you might check to see if if they have branches in Canada, or maybe one close to the border (wink, wink).
@Tezza:
Well done man. I've been busy with other stuff, but I'm watching to see what the results are like. It'd be good to get the right formula sorted out. Get some glycerine - I think that makes the drying out process even slower. I can't believe you have to pay that much for a blacklight. The one I got (and sliced my hand opening it) was $ 19 at Home Depot (you don't have those there yet I suspect). I've now hooked up four of them providing some good UV in the garage (no more flies here!).
And I know you're just doing this to get on CNN before Merlin does.
@ALL
VERY IMPORTANT: When mixing this stuff with a hand mixer or whatever, PLEASE make sure your are using eye protection and gloves ! I got lazy, and lucky the other day, and had some splash 1/2" away from my eyeball. Now the safety glasses sit right next to the H2O2 bottle, and I don't touch it without putting the glasses on first.
@JDW:
Thank you - good to know, as I had no idea what the color was supposed to be. I have a couple others to do, and I'll monitor the de-yellowing process more carefully on those.
I guess this means my previous comment that you can't de-yellow something too much, is incorrect, and especially with Apple plastics. I've noticed some blotchiness with Apple plastic de-yellowing as well, that I haven't seen anywhere near as bad on other manufacturers stuff. It's definately something to watch out for.
