Thanks. Yes
I added 1 part 20 volume hydrogen peroxide (available at beauty supply stores), 2 parts clear ammonia and let it sit for a couple hours. You want to do this outside, and cover it if you can.

Using the video tutorial from the great Davie McPhail:
There's a great tip in that video for setting slip wings, something that I have trouble with. He tears the slips off instead of cutting them. Sure enough, the torn slips were much easier to set.
