HI Stefan,

Yes, that would work well. This is the stuff I was trying to remember:

" Cool-Amp- #1233-500 (silver plating powder)
Protects copper, brass and bronze against corrosion and maintains a highly
conductive surface.

EASY TO APPLY ON-THE-JOB !!!INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Clean surface with stainless steel wire brush

2. Wipe surface with clean dry cloth

3. Apply Cool-Amp powder with damp cloth

4. Rinse with clean water and rub dry with cloth
"

I haven't tried it yet myself.

Expensive, so maybe it could also be applied over etched or milled traces,
to lower the amount of product needed.
