It's not as painful as 10% Hydrogen peroxide, that's for sure.

I learnt that pp + glycerine = fire from a dude that used to work for my parents when I was a kid. He was showing me this magic trick, he started a fire by waving at a clump of newspapers.... i later found out he used pp and glycerine so the fire is delayed until he waves his hand..
So better off strying to measure by grain than by color, because color can be affected by any sort or residu that i sseen or not that is in the cup/bow/jar.....

Ive only used pp in the lab with certain pH experiments....never lit it on fire lol next time i got lab im bringing sugar with me
