So you don't really want to use Liquid Metal with raw copper...  But what if you went full meth cooking science teacher and nickel-plated your copper pad...?

I'm sure YouTube has enough vijayos on how to do it.

 

...profit?

I think I'd test Plasti Dip for masking off areas you don't want plated.  First I'd test if Plasti Dip itself dissolves in the plating bath.  If it doesn't then it could be a good choice for masking off surfaces of your cooling component you don't want plated because it peels nicely when you're done...  That's the theory anyway.
