Do you think the potassium permanganate will change color over time like it can on wood? Again, very nice work.scobrien said:...I also sometime color with potassium permanganate. I mix up a tiny bit with hot tap water and apply with a Q-tip until I get the color that I want. I also buff it back some with steel wool.Here is a photo of one done with PP

Hey Mazo Kid. Yes the p. p. finish will fade out over time and become lighter in color. However, since antler is porous, the color will last for quite a while.
On a different note, the p. p. finish on cow horn will fade rather quickly.
From my own experience, Rit dye and leather dye have proven to be the longer lasting and non changing finish on antler.
Take care.......Steve
