Default Bleaching wood

The peroxide in woodworking bleach is about 30 times stronger than hair
products and stings like crazy. Not something I'd recommend unless you're
going to take precautions


I'd take precautions, gloves, goggles, white coat, steel toe capped boots
and the all important comdon ;-)




One problem with brushing spindles crossways is that the peroxide can
flick off the bristles and end up further away than you might think. You
won't see where exactly until it dries. Spotted carpets etc.
The other thing to remember is that you really need 2 synthetic brushes
(Pound Shop type) and 2 plastic containers to decant into. Keep part a
and b separate because the peroxide bottle will swell if there's any
hint of cross contamination.
The white coat would be a good idea :-)
