The relationship between vols and percent is explained here
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide>.
As I said, I always use 12% (40 vol) or 18% (60 vol) in a cream and
the results are quite rapid. I would hesitate to use anything
stronger for fear of uneven bleaching or even damage to the ivory,
though I have no evidence that it could do damage. I used to stand
in the sunshine painting on the liquid peroxide until I practically
went blind before I doscovered the cream peroxide, which stays active
for many hours and requires no operator presence.
