It's not cheap (and IIRC you have to use the whole lot in one go), but
Chemtronics make a kit to repair such keypads. Possibly worth it for
a useful instrument though.
In the UK you can get it here :

and I guess it's also available across the Pond.

It is, and for less money. The various electronic and industrial supply
outlets carry it, for example Newark, Digikey, and MSC Direct. Digikey
sells it for $23, that's significantly better than 23 pounds...
The Aquadag approach looks interesting, but that may not be as reliable.
That seems to be a conductive coating intended for rigid objects like CRTs,
as opposed to a substance intended to repair rubber keypads.
So if my graphite cure doesn't last, it sounds like the Chemtronics
products is the next answer.
Thanks!
