Can you still get 'oxygen bleach', and where from?
(This is a substance based on hydrogen peroxide, as opposed to the
usual sodium hypochlorite).
Ask at the old bailey :-)

Do you mean it was withdrawn from sale because it can be used to make
explosives? I didn't know that.
Sorry, no idea, I was just being silly.

There was a great kids book in the local library that mentioned that
hydrogen peroxide mixed with manganese dioxide was what powered some
WWII torpedoes. There was also a small projectile launcher experiment
using the two same materials on the same page.
