"Quick experiment with silicone non-conformal coating – waterproof, nonconductive, durable up to 390 deg F. You can re-work / re-solder after it sets, and it's thin enough it isn't much of an insulator.

An added bonus: the coating rounds off sharp edges that would usually snag going in / out of laptop bags."
