The size of the wire will be dependent on how heavy the traces are.

I assume you use solid core wire, what sizes would be good to start with?  Is Wrapping Wire 30AWG good for most things as mentioned elsewhere?

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.

CheffoJeffo:
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.

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
