What Kai has said is true Sid, realgar varies widely, precisely the reason that I use laboratory quality white arsenic.

However, that said, staining a blade can be a very repetitive process.

This keris is one I made, it took me two full days to get this stain on it, it was done in Sydney, in Summer, partially in shade, partially in full sun.
