Hi Steve,
You can use a flexible soldermask for these repairs (comes in green or
brown/amber). You will pass all dielectrics but it is not as flexible as
kapton/polyimide so if you have a tight bend radius it can crack. Good luck.

Subject: [TN] Flex Circuit Scratch...
Morning All!
There were a few rigid flex assemblies brought to me this morning with
some scratches in the coverlay of the flex. They are pretty minor, but
they do go down into some traces a bit. I don't think the traces are
really signal traces, but are part shielding pattern on the outside of
the flex. Check-out:

My question is; is this a defect that has to be repaired, and if so what
do I use to repair the scratches with? Normally I would use soldermask
on a rigid board if the scratches doesn't reduce the trace cross-section
beyond limits, but these traces aren't signal traces, and this isn't a
rigid board.
I think this happened during the de-masking operation after conformal
coating...
Thanks!
