       Hydro+H2O2 = Benzo. Can Iodine tincture be used?     

For simplicity sake, would adding a small bottle of iodine tincture as the catalyst in this reaction harm anything?
The ingregients are of course 5% iodine, 5% KI, IPA, H2O.
Whould the KI affect the reaction?
Is it important to convert the KI or purify the I2 for this reaction?
(as in ../rhodium /benzoquinone.html)

Thanks for the help!

       it might just work, if it's pure KI3 solution     

"A small bottle" is not a good unit.

Use 10-15 mL of this tincture for each gram of iodine the procedure calls for and report your results. I cannot guarantee anything, but if there are really no other additives in the tincture, I believe it could work as a decent substitute if you are too lazy to extract the iodine properly first.

       Tincture rocks.     

Works just the same as I2, can't tell the difference in the product. Same yields. Thanks for the replies.

EDIT: The procedure I followed was Bond_Doublebond's.
