I agree with Alan that sometimes staining requires a repetitive process to get the desired results. It is also my understanding that conditions of weather and temperature can have an effect on the process.
Is arsenic an "essential" ingredient? Not to see changes in the blade and raise the pamor. Certainly other methods to reveal pamor will work. However, i believe ti achieve what might be called the "proper" colour, arsenic is necessary.
