Bryan,

     There's a little pen that's filled with a conformal coat like material
that cures in ambient conditions from a company called Chemtronics, they call
it a CircuitWorks Overcoat Pen. I believe the material is silicone based. You
can buy them at Fry's in either clear or green for about 3 or 4 bucks. You
want to use them as the last thing you do before shipping or packaging, and
NOT use it while the board is still in process as it doesn't do well up at the
high temperatures of reflow or wave soldering.

     Another thing I do sometimes is I'll call one of my "homie's" up over at
a FAB shop close by here and "borrow" some mask and catalyst from him  B^
}...if ya' know anybody that works at a FAB shop most of the time they won't
have a cow if ya' ask for just a little bit to do the kind of touch-up you're
talking about...might cost you a lunch though...
