well, as seen by my last entry i was able to get it to work a couple of weeks ago
so i attempted yesterday to do it again. so inbetween “stuff” i had to do
i devleoped out a sheet of hand coated paper, … nothing on it so i didn’t waste any
effort reversaing it … then i put some matt rc paper in the cyclone and exposed it
i counted 10 and the processed paper looked great, or at least as expected.. into a citric acid stop
then rinsed in running water for 2 seconds then into 250cc 3% big lots peroxide with 2 heaping teaspoons of citric acid …
after 3 hours … nothing …
knowing heat speeds things up ( well, sometimes ) i made a water jacket with hot hot water …
2hours later, nothing …
changed the peroxide out for fresh and more citric acid … i checked it at midnight ( so after 14 hours ) … … nothing ,,
at 830am ( 22 hours of bleaching ) i swapped out the old peroxide, added the rest of the quart i had and 3 heaping teaspoons of CA ..
made another water jacket … and if by the time i can make it back to review … nothing has happened …
i’m probably going to return the peroxide to big lots ( 3 remaining quarts ) maybe it is “stale” ?
this whole thing is kind of frustrating to say the least …
more to come soon ..
