Fixing PCB runs

I prefer to use epoxy, as that's what holds the board together already. The only trick is to find a thin, quick setting brand so you don't make a mess. Mix in small batches and apply quickly, discard what you have mixed as soon as it starts to get tacky. If applied quickly, while its still quite thin, its nearly undetectable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Robertson" <steerex at mindspring.com> To: "'General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only'" <cctech at classiccmp.org> Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 7:10 PM Subject: Fixing PCB runs Hey Guys, I have several PCBs that have damaged runs. The damage was done as a result of dirt/moisture in contact with the boards while energized. I am going to fix the boards by splicing a short piece of copper wire to the existing runs, bridging the section where the run is broken. That's no problem. In order to physically secure the patch to the board and protect the exposed copper from corrosion, I need to apply some kinda coating / adhesive. What would you recommend? I don't want to spray the whole board with lacquer or anything like that. Just the areas where the copper is exposed. I was wondeing if something like fingernail polish would work? Any suggestions? Thanks, SteveRob
