But PCB tracks can be easily un-cut -- just solder a
piece of wire
over the break. Wire-wrap wire (stripped, of course) is ideal for
this.
Yikes!
I am the guy who in the past has had to figure out what the HECK is
wrong with a board, where somebody 'just tacked a piece of wire along
the track.' Such forms of modification/repair often _disguise_ a wiring
I have _never_ had a problem doing this (read : I've never had such a
repair fail, even after <n> years). Now a blob of solder across a break
will _not_ hold, you must put the wire there.
I typically put at least 1/2" of wire on each side of the break and
solder it down.

Yikes? I do this for TV/Projector, PC boards all the times on
tracks that comes off for any reason, bridge cracked PCB etc. I
scrape off mask and polish it with eraser rod and lay sized and cut
to length if needed pre-shaped to follow the bends in the trace and
solder.
This repair method is stronger.
