Default Re: Keris stuck in warangka.

The wilah will not come out. I've tried tapping the warangka whilst pulling on the ukiran, removing the ukiran and pulling on pesi whilst tapping less gently on the warangka, but it won't budge. At work we use dry ice and liquid nitrogen to shrink shafts to facilitate insertion into rotors, and propane torches to apply heat to stubborn bearings to cause expansion and facilitate their removal from shafts. I'm not considering applying heat with a tiger torch to help remove the warangka, of course, although I have no doubt the warangka would certainly be removed by such treatment. I'm aware that this keris may not be intended for me. Some girls "play hard to get" just to see if a guy is serious or not. Any advice short of "Part with it" is welcome.
