This is partly what I'm doing, especally for the tiny traces. However the crack runs along some larger traces, so I just sanded off the coating and bridged them with solder.
I'm going to use my glue gun to insulate the places where I've soldered the wires to. Since the glue is plastic, I figure that will be fine, it being non conductive. They're soldered pretty well, but I want to guard against the chance of them coming loose as best as I can.
