I use a similar copper solution for mordancage and you should be aware that it is very toxic and care should be exercised to avoid breathing fumes, skin/eye contact, etc. Care should also be exercised in disposal as this is very toxic to fish and may eat your drainpipes so it's not one to pour down the drain. --- On Thu, 3/14/13, Robert Hall <robert.g.hall@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Robert Hall <robert.g.hall@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [pure-silver] Re: Copper bleach formula To: "pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <pure-silver@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thursday, March 14, 2013, 2:39 PM Good start. What would one vary to get different results? Is there a different copper compound that would work? Anyone care to discuss what the chemical reaction is with this? Thanks again.

I would like a few different formulas if anyone is willing to share. Anyone have any tidbits of knowledge they would like to share?
