Filler material for Nickel plating

Filler material for Nickel plating

Filler material for Nickel plating

(OP)
I am working on a project that involves using electroless nickel plating on aluminum parts.  Some of these parts have .1-.5 wide troughs, for instrumentation, that need to be filled and plated over for a uniform appearance.  I am looking for a conductive, epoxy-like material that can fill these gaps smoothly and accept the nickel plating.  I am trying to avoid the cost/lead time of plating the parts, soldering the gaps, than replating...

The only product I have found, so far, that seems applicable was called TRA-DUCT 2705 made by Tra-Con Inc.  I can't find out much about it or where to by it though.

Hopefully this problem has come up before and someone here has some good ideas...
