| BKahuna:
Yeah, that's fine for small traces. If you have larger power or ground traces, you might want some bigger wire than that. |

Well... what I do on burnt edge traces is, use A copper tape, You know the tape used for leading stained glass? Anyhow, cut it to size, fold it over the edge,[it"s tape it will stick there] then solder it to the orig. trace. works great!!!! have done it for years. |

If we are talking about repairing edge connectors, there is also a video in the Restoration page in the wiki by bitslicer that is well worth watching. |

You can probably find a copy on ArcArc.xmission.com. --- End quote --- Ok, I give in. I've gone through a few links there. Is it called just 'The Book'? Cleverly simple. Since the most published book in the world has the same name, only in Greek ;D |
