Default Where can I buy some Wood Bleach in West Yorks?

I am after the 2 part peroxide stuff (I believe I need a specialist shop
rather than the DIY sheds).

Pref around the Bradford/Huddersfield area but I can go as far as Leeds if
necessary.

cheers

Ask

for a local stockist. Or Liberon if you can find a UK website.
You may find hydrogen peroxide (part2) at an agricultural wholesaler,
and you can use caustic soda or washing soda for part 1. Certainly
cheaper that way.

I doubt it. You need about 30% for best results, 20% to be at all
effective (one reason why you shouldn't buy old stock).

Best I've ever found on the "diseases of sheep's feet" aisles was 12%.
Usually it's just 6%.

A few tips.
Get yourself a pair of synthetic fibre brushes. Both a and b will
destroy ordinary bristle.
Use plastic gloves. Part B stings.
Leave partB to dry completely before assessing the results
Decant what you need from the main containers, and don't pour it back.
The smallest trace of partA in partB will cause the container to swell
and lose strength. The cap should have small holes in it to allow the
gas to escape, but keep an eye on it.
Good luck

I am quite pleased with the results.
