I also double-checked my process against this video, which I've watched several times now to ensure I didn't mess up.

I followed the application method #1, as described in the AltText.

I followed the instructions TO THE LETTER.

Does anyone know why this happened? Maybe the product is too old and therefore expired and no longer effective?

I just got it shipped to me a few days ago. :welp:

Does anyone know what might be happening between the Hydrogen Peroxide and the Sodium Hydroxide to cause this outcome?

Bottles of Part A and Part B of the 2-art bleach. Part A contains Hydrogen Peroxide, and Part B contains Sodium Hydroxide. APPLICATION
OPTION 1 - EQUAL MIXTURE APPLICATION (A + B)
Wear Circa 1850 Stripping Gloves and protective eyewear. In a clean, plastic container, mix equal quantities of PARTS A and B. Do not mix more than is required for one application. Using a synthetic paint brush or sponge, apply a coat of the new mixture. Ensure the solution does not puddle on the surface. The bleach should activate immediately. Allow the wood to dry for a minimum of 3 hours. Reapply a new mixture of bleach if additional lightening is desired. Once the desired appearance has been achieved, the surface needs to be neutralized. In a separate clean, plastic container, mix one part white vinegar with 2 parts warm water. Apply the diluted vinegar to the surface using a synthetic paint brush or sponge. Ensure the solution does not puddle on the surface. Allow to dry thoroughly for a minimum of 24 hours.

Allow to dry thoroughly for a minimum of 24 hours.
SANDING
After the surface has thoroughly dried, sand the wood if desired to remove any grain raise or rough areas. Follow the label directions foresanding for any Knish that will be used.

Picture of the box of Circa 1850 Wood Bleach. It shows a picture of natural red oak, and a picture of medium red-brown stained red oak, side-by-side. It claims to "Remove the natural color from Bare Wood" and to also "Lighten the colour of Stained Wood."
