A twisted pesi assists in retention of the jejeran.
You've done a decent job on these blades Danny.
The largest single quantity of warangan that is in Indonesia is held by my nephew in Solo. This warangan came from India, and it is recognised that it is is not nearly as good as the warangan that the business that he now runs, had been selling during the previous 30 years. This earlier stock of warangan had probably come from China.
Because this business is an importer, it sold to other businesses and individuals in Central Jawa, Jakarta and Surabaya, and some of these businesses and people still have some of the old warangan.
I strongly suggest that if you can locate any of the warangan that came into Indonesia prior to about 5 years ago, you buy as much of it as you can afford. You will not be happy with the newer stuff.
A better solution than warangan ( realgar) is laboratory quality white arsenic ( arsenic trioxide) . Used correctly it gives a perfect job every time and is absolutely predictable. The only problem with it is in purchase because of government restrictions, but usually these can be overcome by obtaining the relevant certificate, in Australia this is referred to as a "Hazchem certificate" ( hazardous chemicals)
