What's the consensus on the keyboard connections on the bottom of the keys please?

I have seen three options:

1) go over them with a pencil - this seems the least permanent fix
2) some kind of silver electrical fluid, like that used to (try to) mend heated rear windows
3) some kind of conductive rubber fluid/spray

I'm not clear which one is preferable.

Thanks.

Colin.
