The H2O2 I get from the drug store all say 3% on their labels. It works very well and quickly in my H2O2+HCl etchant. I've seen "food grade" H2O2 at 35% used in food processing and a number of alternative-health preparations (they actually drink the stuff--whoa!--though probably not without dilution). Google "food grade H2O2." You'll find lots of suppliers, including Amazon.
