I sometimes commission new keris with motifs which are coated with kinatah, silver, brass etc. and will encounter after warangan, the kinatah (gold plating), silver etc will came off from some part of the motif.

Then the smith has to coat the motifs again and have it warangan again. Is this the correct procedure?
