Nodules on my electroforms

I keep getting a single nodule on the backside of my nickel electroforms. What could be causing this ? The location of the nodule seems consistent.

If the nodule is not on a high current density area it is probably due to a small raised area on the mandrel, possibly a burr of fuzz.
