[sdiy] preventing corrosion on bare traces

[harry]

The copper oxide that forms on the boards will protect the rest of the copper.

Spray is unnecessary unless you think it looks ugly. Rework will involve
scraping
the copper to fresh metal... or removing the spray anyway.

It is not a "time-bomb". don't worry about it.
