is there a product i can use to cover exposed traces?

I recently bought a space invaders deluxe game where there is only a scrambled vertical line on the monitor, but the game doesn't seem to be playing blind. Anyways, while inspecting the board I noticed that near the connectors some of the green covering the traces had been exposed. I don't think any of the traces crossed but I'd like to repair and cover them. Is there a material or product I can use to do this? I'm new to arcade repair and would apriciate any help. Thanks!
 
There are several products that can be used to recoat traces. I use this: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10001_10001_2120559_-1

Or at least the same thing in a PCB green color. I have also heard that nail polish will work just as good. I have not tried it, but at the way the price of this stuff has been going up I may try it next time. SeaFoam Pink trace protector anyone? :D

We use nail polish at work. We have a jar of clear for coating over labels on the side of cabinets and a jar of green that we use for circuit boards. If it is good enough for the US military then it is good enough for my games. The applicator in the jar makes it convenient to apply as well.
 
I cover them with copper carbonate.
It takes a few years to form, but it's worth it.
