I always insist on having a nickel flash under the silver plate, and have never had any adhesion problems. Only problem with nickel is if it's applied too thick - it blunts reamers and fraising tools and is hard to cut through.

But I have had adhesion problems when a copper flash has been used, the plating peeled off like foil leaving copper underneath.

But the company that I now prefer (that does Buffet's castings and plating) will plate with no nickel or copper flash, and the results are spectacular. I've just had a set of oboe and cor anglais keys back from him and the finish is flawless!
