loyo, rest from Pocung
- if all the large establishments have orders, it can be difficult to find enough labor
- one pengr. can work in more than one establ.
- main prob. this yr. high price of hides & so profits narrower; formerly made about 30% profit, now less than 20%
- marketing also diff. this year
- acc. to Keni pengr. in Pocung don't want to work together (tidak mau bersatu)
- proportion of paint to ancus 1 to 3
- usually buys 50 K hide at a time, buy sometimes only  25 if things slow
if very slow 25 K will last 2 mo
- pengr. can get salary advances from pengusaha
- most of sales sunggingan (painted wayangs) - some orders for gebingan, but must be white & transparent
- signs of good skin: tidak pecah & white color
skin from young thin kerbau the best
