Peroxide to possibly use in making Cupric Chloride Mordant ?

Cupric Chloride for etching copper

Not sure if this is the correct stuff so I am hoping that Alfons Bytautas Printmaker researcher extraordinaire will swing by this blog and confirm that this is the stuff I need to use to make the mordant in question ?
I read about it recently , in an article by Alfons,   in "Printmaking Today".  The article also referenced   the  NDI in printmaking website.  which is also an excellent resource on matters of this nature.

I will be following the formula as iterated by Alfons.

Of course I will be posting on here about etching copper in this mordant and hopefully this will enable me to be able to etch a plate in my own studio as and when I need to.
