Zinsser Wood Bleach Kit | Lighten Furniture, Floors, Cabinets, Trim | Removes Red Tone | 2-Step Brightening System | 2-Step 8 fl. oz. Kit (16 fl. oz. Total)

Product works as advertised. First time user. Better results than expected. Original blue lacquer on the LP DC Tribute was so thick couldn't see grain... So I stripped it. Wanted Extreme Bleaching to allow for heavy black grain filler and will go back to a real transparent blue finish. Progress pics attached. Plus... I probably uncovered one of the most unique semetrical 2 piece Mahogany slabs in the 2019 DC production run. What a gem...

Product takes to long to deliver. Sits in non transit mode to long , look at your delivery process. The product works as expected.I have used multiple times on wood furniture to remove the red or gold tones.

This bleached my black walnut veneer (on a test piece) very well. I chose 2 coats vs 1, as I'm patching new veneer with antique, and will be doing a lot of stain/color work to match, so I needed it as tannin-free as possible.I followed the instructions closely - and since I was doing 2 applications, the instructions state that 2 apps would need to be rinsed thoroughly. My test pieces are in the photo included.On 2 small scrap patch pieces I opted to do 1 application of the bleach. On those pieces with just the one application, without rinsing afterward, I had EXTREME fish eye & bubbling in the shellac finish. I sanded down & then sealed with spray shellac (to then begin again). Re-stained - & applied SEVERAL coats of thinned shellac, sanding between coats (every 3-4 coats). It continued to bubble, but I'd gently sand - re-coat - and when it was as smooth as I thought it was ever going to be, I let it sit for 48 hrs - and it bubbled again. :( Other patches I put in that had 2 coats of bleach + thorough rinsing have done fine. So be warned - if you're working with Shellac or Lacquer as your finish - this product NEEDS TO BE RINSED even if you're just doing 1 application. Just be sure to test on scraps first to be sure it's going to work for you.

This wood bleach worked great for our purposes. We put raw wood planks on our porch ceiling and I wanted to stain them but the natural orange, pinks, and reds were not giving me the outcome I wanted. This bleach neutralized the natural colors and gave a more uniform base to stain.

This was my first time using a bleach kit instead of household bleach and it works so much better! I would get this again.

I tried this, it did nothing. I found that wiping the piece down with actual bleach and sitting it in the sun worked way better.

The stain removal worked well and easy to follow the instructions.

(Note: Not sure why Amazon is asking me to rate the "sheerness" of a chemical product, so I left that one blank.)For whatever reason, wood bleach of any description is extremely difficult to find right now -- at least in the U.S. Apparently it's everywhere in Canada -- go figure. Most Canadian dealers, however, will not sell this product to you if you live in the States, so I was pleased to find it available on Amazon.This is the real stuff -- wood bleach. It will actually remove the natural color from most woods. You will find many people who tell you that you can bleach wood with regular laundry (chlorine) bleach, or oxalic acid. Maybe under certain ideal circumstances you can, but I've always found that those methods will remove -stains- from wood, but not much (or any) of the natural color. Also, oxalic acid is extremely toxic, and I'd rather not have to use it.This stuff will. It's the real deal. Two solutions, one of concentrated sodium hydroxide, and the other of concentrated hydrogen peroxide. Yes, there are some hazards with these chemicals, but if you follow instructions and wear appropriate gear (goggles, rubber gloves, filter mask) and take reasonable care, you will be fine.This works on all wood, although the effect is more pronounced on some wood than on others. I used it on red oak -- which it basically bleached to white oak, and also on mahogany, where the effect was more subtle, but still notable. If it doesn't bleach enough on the first pass, you can repeat the application and get a lighter shade on the second go. One pass worked on the oak; I needed two to get the shade I wanted on the mahogany.Each application cycle takes overnight, until everything is dry. Although I did find that you can accelerate this process somewhat with a heat gun.If you need to bleach a large area, you may want to look into whether this comes in larger containers, given the price. Since I was working on small objects, this package was just the right size, and the cost was reasonable for my application.
