Hi Killer Slip of the tongue, should be 3 Latex 2 water. Sometimes we do 4 liters latex to 1 liter water, depending on the weather [ drying conditions ] Another thing to take into account is the rubber content of the latex. In good conditions heavier pancakes. Not that good at You tube vids yet. Jim

Thank you. My summer school class in World History found your videos on latex rubber plantations interesting.

I dont understand this,You say you mix 2 l latex and 3 l water? Not true. or if true. We do ewerything wrong. 4 liter latex and then 0,5 l water. Than you ad the acid, a cup. That give you something like 1.3 kg more ore less, dried ore smoked rubber sheet. Am I wrong? We live in Sri Songkhram. Have about 85 rai in 4 farms. Now we are only harvesting from two farms. Starting two other farms in november. Feel fine to give me some respons :-)

Your facts on the money returns are way out, even for 2009. 85 baht per kilo was the rate. Where did you get 25 baht from? Now it is 150 baht but dropped significantly since Libya and Japan. No-one could produce for 25 baht gross.
