Hey ... thanks ..
Being as safe as I can ..
I am mixing down to about 9 % peroxide ..
The Bottle has a bag wrapped around it
during storage .. came that way from the pool
supply place as well ..
The 9% H2O2 is approx a 2:1 mix to HCL ..
according to the posted calculator..
It did 4.25 X 10 HV Diode board in about 3 minutes ..
Without too crazy of a reaction .. bubbled quite a bit ..
I kept the organic respirator and safety goggles and gloves on thru the whole thing and stayed upwind of it .. it worked good ..
Thanks for all the advice ..
once the gallon of 30% is down to half ..
I think I will just fill it back up with the 3% and
that way I can keep it stored at a safer concentration.
While having it still usable .. as well as reactivation.
Randy

At concentrations above 30% you want to keep any organic compounds (like acetone) far away. You can form organo-peroxides that are unstable high explosives. The amount of water left in 30% peroxide is just at the borderline to be able to quench this sort of explosion, but you can still end up with it boiling in your face. Always keep them in a hydrophobic membrane-vented container away from light and in a chemical safe refrigerator. 30% peroxide has 100x its own volume of oxygen, so keeping it in an enclosed space may produce a highly oxidative atmosphere where things that are normally inflammable burn vigorously. Make sure no transition metal contamination enters the bottle or you will have nothing but water in a week or two. The only reason I mentioned the stuff a few weeks ago was to tell you how I add peroxide into my enchant after it has been used once and stored for a while.
