If it's a small board you can use the same method and clean it up
with copperbraid.

You could also use a product like "Tinit" and plate the board. The
stuff I have came in a powder form that you mix with heated water.
Dip the board in the solution and wait for a few minutes for the
plate to build up. I have noticed that heating the finished board
can sometimes reveal underlying copper --ie easybake/toaser oven
solder method. I'm not sure if it's an interaction of flux fumes or
heat or whatever.
