Do not know if this roughness is a problem, as that ain't my area of
expertise, (if I have one....) but, the "The roughness seems worse in the
smaller diameter holes than do the larger holes" statement yells that the
problem is caused by gas bubbles trapped in the holes....and thus could
probably be remedied (minimized) by "canting" or tipping the boards during
Nickel plating, to allow the bubbles to come out of the holes.
