Potassium Permanganate

[bigbrink]

Does anyone know how to remove potassium permanganate from horns. I recently put some on some elk horns but it made the horns too dark. Any ideas?

Stick it outside in the sun and elements. ??????

Mild sand blasting. ??????

Emory cloth ?????

I think it just comes off with water again? That or try with rubbing alcohol; the same compound used to match it together. I'm pretty sure though you can remove it using water.

Good luck!

High pressure water. Try it.

I don't think water would work very well because it oxidizes the horn so you would probably have to sand it. Just my 2 cents.

Try really fine grit sand paper.

my question is where do you get the stuff?

Hydrogen peroxide will remove it initially, but I think once it drys you might be screwed. Did you google it?
