I don’t understand how this can work. Doesn’t hydrogen peroxide decompose pretty quickly when exposed to sunlight?

- sfink 6y agoThe hydrogen peroxide is used for bleaching the wood. Sunlight speeds it up. You don't want any leftover H2O2.
- aksss 6y agoIt’s just used to bleach the wood, like some people do to lighten their hair. The sunlight accelerates the oxidation process. So the hydrogen peroxide does break down but that’s the intention. It removes the pigment from the wood fiber, the epoxy fills in gaps to allow the translucency.
