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,
robb




IMO,the only sure way for pad repair is to set an eyelet.
You get mechanical security that way,and can replace the component again if
necessary without further damage.
