staining keris blade

[kresnadi]

Hello,

I’m new to this forum. Just want to ask you guys a question. How do you stain a keris blade ? Can we use other chemicals than AS2O3 ? (Warangan) ?

Thanks

Hi Kresnadi, welcome. This has been a much discussed question here. Try using the search on this forum and see what you get so we don't need to rehash it all. :) You might want to search the old forum as well.
