I think so, if it is steel it should work. I tried with x-acto knife blade and it worked. You need to touch with steel to copper traces a few seconds then it will start to generate bubbles (H2). It is a little bit expensive electroless plating solution but easy to use.

Wow, Far out! I think I'll pick up one of those Electroless Nickel plating
kits then.
Could you use a wad of loose steel wool to activate the plating?
