Craig,
I suggest you look into OSB (organic S?? B??) coating. It is a
very-thin coating over coppper that effectively vanishes with
any form of heat/chemicals. In this way, it will not oxidize,
leaving your copper clean. Then, a simple spray solution will
remove it.
Sorry I don't know the actual name, but all board vendors we've
deal with offer it, and they'll be able to tell you the details
on how to remove it when desired.
