The samples were then pinned on a piece of chrome tanned leather and vegetable tanned leather, whereas the tests carried out was wet and dry rub fastness. Data analysed using completely randomized design with factorial pattern according to Gasperz (1991) showed that there was not significant effect on plating neither metal plated using chrome, gold, nor roasted metal pinned on chrome and vegetable tanned leather having been stored yet.
