My exact recipe was as follows:
I had no exact recipe. It was typically a 1 part H2O2 to 5 parts H2O mixture with a teaspoon or so of Oxiclean per bottle of H2O2. I would occassionally sprinkle some more Oxiclean into the mixture which would cause a really neat chain reaction clouding the water for a minute or two.
For the back case I used about 10 gallons of water and 5 bottles of over-the-counter H2O2. Left it under 5 UV lamps for about 2-3 days.
My successes seem to indicate that retrobright isn't an exact science by any means. I was (likely) a total idiot about it but I was able to achieve optimal results. As I know JDW has said, it takes time, not lethal amounts of chemical to make this process work.
