A bit of a necro-post, but this is important.

So, firstFirst things first: Don't mess with higher concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxidehydrogen peroxide unless you are a trained and well-equipped chemist.

  We're talking "Steel"steel-reinforced gauntlets" here. Dead serious. The stuffThis chemical is as volitilevolatile as nitroglycerinnitroglycerine.

At 3% you have mostly DIde-ionized water and for good reason. Hydrogen Peroxideperoxide is extremely, violently unstable, and is just as likely to oxidize anything it can get it's grimey hands onelse than what you actually intend to react it with.

Anything above a concentration of 30% is very dangerous. Above 60% is suicidal in ill-equipped scenarios. 100% is a hypothetical, and is in essence a potential component of rocket fuel.

So, whew boy, yes it will work.

  You may lose a hand, but it will work.
