Alan thanks for your answer.
I never rinse by water between each application of the liquid prior to beginning the subsequent applications. I only dry the blade in a "non direct sunlight" place (do i wrong?)
Yes, after final application i rinse thouroughly but... when i put the blade to dry sometimes rust comes on the blade (but if i put weapon oil over the blade before to dry it the rust don't comes)
I use western lemon with (in my opinion) good outcome (maybe with indonesian limes it will be better but is not possible to find them in my cowntry). Some years ago I bought in a italian market some "brasilian" limes and used them with the same outcomes (but these limes, on the contrary of indonesian limes, didn't have any seed inside)
The warangan i usually buy in Yogya is the same colour you say . It is very expensive (80.000/100.000 rp for one gram) on the contrary of white warangan for rats.The dust is rather withe with very-very little cristal orange residual (in lemon juice).

I just got blasted by FIREFOX.

Wrote a long an informative post on staining and then FIREFOX interupted me with updates and everything was lost. Great browser. Lousy manners.

Not going to write it again. Might some other time.

Hey Alan, that's certainly a teaser!
I hope you do decide to share this info with us soon, rude browsers not withstanding.

Sometimes it happens...
Usually, I take it as a 'hint', it's not time to write...

Tip: for long post, it might be a good idea to write using a text editor like notepad, wordpad (... or what have you). Afterwhich copy and paste, and smileys... viola.

Yeah, I work off-line ar home, but in an intercafe cafe and under relatively adverse conditions, it is not all that easy. Probably write it again next week, if I have the opportunity.
