Default Repairing mylar cable?

John E. wrote in message
obal.net...
Bare back to conductors, cover whole area with silver loaded paint and

when
cured score lines with ruler and scalpel, pairs of close lines and

scrape
off the areas between lines with a slightly blunt needle against ruler.
You need a magnifier lamp and check with a DVM before and after the

process.

Not quite clear to me... does this involve any new flexie material? Or

just
paint? Is paint expected to bridge a gap in the flexie?

This seems a good way to repair breaks in conductive traces, but a damaged
flexie...?

If you could explain in a bit more detail...

Thanks,

does it flex in use or just to assemble/disassemble ?
