I have!  Maplin sell fibreglass stripboard, where the copper strips are tinned.  It's about twice the price of 
the classic phenolic/bare copper boards, but much nicer to work with.  When I was working with Veroboard a 
lot, I used to scrub the copper as soon as I got it home, and then spray with the type of lacquer that was 
designed to be soldered through, otherwise it was a nightmare to solder some time later when it had 
accumulated oxidation and fingerprints.
