Potassium Permanganate ?

I am trying some Potasium Permanganate. I mixed it with water and it turned purple. Is this normal or should I have used distilled water? This is high quality stuff I got from a friend of mine in the water treatment bussiness.

Yes the purple is normal however alchol is best to use. It will created a richer color when dry as well as dry faster. I like the product.

It will stain almost anything brown. Including you. It doesn't wash off of skin it wears off. It always turns liquid purple even with Alcohol.


Thanks guys

I appreciate the feedback. I have heard everyone talk about using this stuff and wanted to try it for myself. I wonder if the first person to use it thought theyu were messing up or what.

Anyhow Thanks,
