Re: Dipping reeds in hydrogen peroxide

There is a patent for a reed sterilising formula of peroxide and glycerol at
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5379673.html
The recommended mix is 3% peroxide with 7% glycerol (volume/volume). I've tried it on my oboe reeds; it seems harmless but I don't bother very often since I've been in a reed making learning phase for a year or so and the more I make the more I learn.
I've not tried it for clarinet or bassoon since I mostly use legere plastic reeds.
