Is it necesary to repair lifted traces/pads ?

its actually a pad at the end of a trace to mount a wire/pin
connection to another board (not a hole)

if one does need to repair then how does one ree-glue or repair
a lifted trace/pad ?

thanks for any help,
robb

I have used super glue (ca).
Be careful when you solder over it, the fumes are nasty.

It's nice to glue the pad back down but more important to make sure
the connection to the trace is secure. Having lifted, it may be
weakened and ready to break off.
