I suppose you can screw up any process if you do not control it. I have been 
involved in many long term applications of flash gold and there have been no 
problems. Obviously, if you are having Au embrittlement, the coating is not 
flash gold which by every definition I am familiar with is 3 micro inches or 
less.

Best regards
