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
