It will probably be a bit more complicated than what you described, but
something along these lines is what I had in mind. You might want to
contact [log in to unmask]

So in concept, I would be able to dab a cotton swab into a jar of this
'ink'
and coat the inside of the hole and maybe use a hot air gun to cure it?
or
maybe something UV curable?  Do you have some links to the manufacturers
of
materials that do something like this?  I'm sure if there was such a
material it could be used to repair traces and the like....

I would look at these, but there are others which have the constancy of
ink
such as used in Hybrids that should do as well and will be far less
trouble
to apply. To a large extent the application will probably dictate the
material.

Oh I think I see, much like the sliver loaded epoxy materials they use
to
plug vias?

Electroless plating involves a sequence of at least five successive
chemical
immersion steps.  The amount of masking of the rest of the board would
make
this impractical.  Conductive ink is a distinct possiblity as a large
number
of
"inexpensive" double sided boards are produced in the Far East with
"Silver
Through Hole" paste in all the vias.
