This substance is no longer available to buy from chemists as it has a cancerous element in it.

 

It was eccellent for dying prawns purple and no other dye comes close. Would anyone else know of a good a substitute for a purple dye.

 

Maybe our 'Doc' could shed some light on where I could get some Gentian Violet/Crystal Violet.

Slight correction on your spelling 'potassium permanganate' ;)

 

 

Tried that two nights ago but the solution turns brown after about two minutes and turns the prawns a golden brown colour not purple. That colour might work also but im still after a replacment for Gentian Violet as I am running out.
