Hair bleach typically has concentrations of 15% while a typical 6 inch glow stick contains a small amount, 0.5%. Medical uses are around the 3% mark.

The video doesn't show what percent was used. Anyone try with other % ?

That's whats sold in those venues. I wonder if straight, full strength H2O2 would have worked? If you used the kind of hydrogen peroxide you can buy off the
