/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey there /diy/
I've been making iron oxide using bleach and pieces of steel to make thermite for bootleg welding. The issue is that after 2 days the liquid in the jar that I've filtered out doesn't smell like bleach at all and more like very very very slightly chlorinated water to the point I'm not scared of drinking it from the smell. Should I change out the liquid for new bleach or is it still gonna process the steel "effectively".
Thanks in advance :)))
