UK regulations say the following...

"In summary, the Regulation’s marketing restrictions are limited to
purchases, possession and use by the general public only.
There are no restrictions on sales or use to/by professional users, or
industry. The Regulation identifies concentration thresholds for seven
specific chemicals which include Hydrogen peroxide. Above these
thresholds, 12% for Hydrogen Peroxide, the baseline position of the
Regulation is a ban on sales to the public. However, Member States
(MS) can derogate from a full ban through the use of a licence
scheme and those States who have an existing registration scheme
can keep it, provided it meets a number of criteria."

So essentially, even if you could get the Sodium Percarbonate and
managed to get a good base stock, if caught with it you'd be
off to the Hoosegow.

However a legitimate research project can acquire a licence to
purchase materials on the regulated list.

I sure don't know the regulations on this (is it "you can't have higher than 12% peroxide" or "you basically can't buy higher than 12% peroxide"?) but... probably don't do anything you wouldn't feel comfortable telling the fire department.
