Is it necesary to repair lifted traces/pads ?


Superglue is relatively nontoxic, it's been used to close
wounds, but the
fumes sure do sting.

If the pad is badly lifted I often just use a scrap of resistor
lead or wire
wrap wire to jumper the component lead to good trace further
up.


Thanks for reply,

the pad lifted after soldering the connection, so i wanted to
stabilize the pad in case i was too rough or so it would not
lean over onto some other trace.

thanks for ideas,
