How To Use :
Dissolve 0.25 part of potassium permanganate in 1,000 parts of cold water and paint the wood with the violet solution obtained. As soon as the solution comes in contact with the wood it decomposes in consequence of chemical action, and a handsome light - brown precipitate is produced in the wood.
