From: John DuBois <spcecdt@deeptht.santa-cruz.ca.us> Subject: Hydrogen peroxide Date: 7 Mar 90 10:13:33 GMT If you're going to try distilling H2O2, you might as well start with the stuff sold for bleaching hair, which is a 6% soln, instead of the sterilizing stuff which is 3%. I bought lots of it long ago when I was making O2/combustible_material explosives and hadn't yet discovered Solidox pellets; mix in a bit manganese dioxide (cheaply obtained from dead carbon-zinc cells) and it liberates quite a bit of O2. The clerks at the grocery store looked at me funny, perhaps because I kept buying the stuff but never showed up with blond hair. John
