    The other brand better?
    The reason why I asked is cause I got some kiwi layin around the house and I know for a fact that it stains Hard cause a buddy borrowed some of mine and put it back in my backpack just before I was going to the airport and the dumbass didn't put the lid back on tight and 2/3 of the bottle leaked all over the floor of the cargo hold and our flight was delayed for an hour. They were inspecting it and couldn't figure out what it was. They thought it was corrosive or a sort of toxin cause of the strong smell. They probably still got a large black stain on their floor. and then again maybe I'm thinkin about Leather Dye but I'm 98% sure it was Edge Dressing.

    It was rubber matting, kinda like what you'll find at bowling alleys around the counter and also some got underneath on the metal..kinda like diamond plate.

    Kind of... The rock tumblers I used when I collected are more for shaping than for grinding. Ball Mills are used to grind minerals.

    I know for dying leather, Rit is not very strong. By the time you need to dye your boots or shoes again..the leather has opened up and will absorb almost anything. If you try it..just add a little at a time (small cap full).

    yea potassium permanganate reacts with almost anything, so in inks it will do that alot of the time.
    if you put the potassium permanganate into the solvent first, then add all the ingredients then you'll know what its reacting with.

    the black shit/ gunk it makes in manganese oxide, you cna use it as a pigment if you can grind it up enough.

    nah cuz MnO2 is a solid, its like a pigment.

    but KMnO4 is wierd, i wouldnt really use it unless your planning on using it for a specific reason, cu it is purple, but oxidizes really quicly to a red/ brown thats a lot lighter than the purple, and idk its a really wier thing.

    try just dissolving some in water, and put a drop of water on a piece of paper, you can watch it turn from purple to red to brown
