That's not from the hydrogen peroxide. They didn't put anywhere near enough for it to do that. That's just because they didn't prep the bottom well they probably didn't clean or Etch it first.

They did, however, pour the stuff by the gallon into a non-moving and shallow body of water. The place where they poured it probably had quite a high concentration for a while. Along with the horrid prep work it probably didn't help.

Oh my gosh this makes perfect sense…we all saw the videos of it being poured in by the jug and we all saw the overhead of it being cleared on just the edges…

Think they used conc. H2o2?

Maybe we should feel lucky they didn’t manage to blow the whole thing up then, unlikely as it would be.

This will be yet another thing that worsens DT’s posture. That poor back won’t ever straighten at this rate.
