How To Repair Damaged PCB Pads / Traces || Copper Soldering

After all of your meticulous care I was surprised you didn’t cover the exposed trace with solder mask. Fantastic work though. Very impressive.

Hi what camera you using for your videos ?
Also what glue you using ?

How do you spell the glue that you are using ( Pak Tac ) and where do you get it from? Lovely repair.

From where one can get heat resistant pcb glue to affix copper tape firmly to pcb?

Great video! Curious - what is your camera set up?

Nice job! Informative!

Wow I am just so impressed by attention to detail and how you prioritize cleanup. I am trying to repair pads I ripped off battery terminals for an iPhone 2G. I am a novice but your video gave me some confidence. Cheers

Ciao potrei sapere la colla quale hai usato e le sue caratteristiche , ovvero che temperatura riesce a sopportare una volta che si e' indurita poi ha dei limiti su quale tensione massima puo' sopportare? Grazie

Excellent work.

Hello, please, can you tell me what glue to take and where you found it? because i found only oven high temperature glue for glass or conductive glue. many thanks.

👍☺

I have watched in awe as you repair these minute circuits/pads etc. Fascinating. I have a small quadcopter board that has the pads for a small inductor 1R5 missing. I would really appreciate your input/knowledge as to which process to use on it. Is that a possibility as all? BR Trevor

Thanks so much for this. Can I ask what type of glue do you use for both the pads and the fuse holder? Thanks !!

Superb😊😊

I have both lead free soldier (thanks for the tip on 173 deg) but also lead 60/40 solder. What in your experience is the best temp for normal jobs? I think one has to up the temp on potentiometer bodies, etc. because of the larger surface are and also less time heating and maybe breaking the pot?

I just found your channel today and I must say, I am quite liking the really crisp, high quality video and audio -- most tech channels, for some reason, tend to have horrible audio. I've learned some good tips from your videos today!

Great video and repair sir I’ve been soldering since I was young and since subscribing to your channel a month ago I’ve learned so many new ways of doing things and to be honest a damn sight easier ways to repair things than what I was taught lol thanks for your videos they are so educational all the best god bless

There is nothing wrong with your repair except it is way over designed and took too much time. You should have just used the pad that was lifted up.. Unsolder the pad from the broken fuse and glue the pad back down. There was no need to make a new pad. All that glue you used will just make that part harder to replace again. That one drop under the fuse holder was all you needed.

This is so much nicer as a finish than the jump wires I've resorted to on the couple of instances I've had to deal with lifted pads (diy repairs on little projects). And the end result you show, is definitely worth the effort.

I don't often have to repair things, but I have a few repair projects sitting in my to-do draw... Along with a whole bunch of on copper strands taken from a power cable, ready to shape around component pins that need to be removed.

So yes, I'd previously learnt a great tip, and this is another to add to my pile. I've been using a soldier iron since I was about 7, and I'm still one of the greenest novices you'll see (some 36 years on). In fact, I don't doubt that the grandfather who told me I'd used enough solder to weld up the Titanic, would probably still say I could weld up a frigate with some of my solder joints. 😂

Thanks for making this video!! Recently I was trying to repair a gameboy color and when I was trying to reinstall one of the battery terminals (a through-hole component), I accidentally pushed the copper up. Will this work for the copper around a through-hole area? Sorry if the description of what happened isn’t great, I'm not sure of the right terms to use since I'm still a beginner. I wish I could show a picture since they're worth a thousand words lol

Better than factory 😂

Neat work as usual 👌 for myself I'd also consider using a bit of soldermask on the exposed track, I'm sad like that 😂

Another great soldering tutorial - thanks! :)

What PCB glue and activator are you using? Is it high current stable?

Does anyone know of a glue that actually sets and is resistant to heat from the soldering iron?
I've done countless repairs with copper tape, but every glue simply turns to liquid the moment you try to solder.
Only way I've found is to do the repair, solder THEN solder mask on top...but doesn't as neat.

Any way to fix that circular part/connector/thing? Sorry I don’t how it’s called, but I think I’ve removed it or burned it by accident. Thanks. Amazing skills you got there, thanks for the videos

Always belt and braces…a real professional repair, how it should be done. Thank you

Hi, can you link me what flux you use? I watched a few videos and noticed yours works extremely well. I am used to the flux paste which seems like a pain to use

Thank you for the excellent video, this is a fantastic technique. I am going to attempt to use a CO2 laser cutter to cut a template into copper tape, to replicate some very fine and complex corroded traces in an LED wristwatch. I think I can use the loctite 382 to glue the copper tape topside-down, and then clean the adhesive off as a final step before tinning and applying solder mask.

I just had to replace this fuse holder today.
How do you deal with tight spacing? The solder iron barely fit between the fuse end and a plastic board mounted connector.

I always need to change the tiny on/off switches to dash cams and other small electrons. Please do a video instruction on this. Thanks.

Hi I only recently found your channel. Love what you do its so clean and neat great work. I would really like to see how you remove and replace the thumb sticks on a PlayStation5 controller. 🎮😀

When you mention product names like the glue you are using - please mention them in the written description under the video - the English language does not at all lend itself to convey spellings of words just from listening. Would it be spelled "tech-pack" or "tack-peck" or "tacpac"? What do I google for? You could also describe what type of glue it is: Is it a cyanoacrylate glue? The fact that you use an activator with it strongly points to it.

This was a good video! Thanks a lot man 👍🏻

You are now my new hero.

I love your videos and the detailed explanation, I've learned a lot watching your easy-to-follow videos Thanks for posting.

A great tip. Thanks a lot for share it

Could you share what camera you're using ?

What do you use for your video recording and magnification? Also what iron, tips and braid?

That quality of work is awesome

Hello, what camera are you using? I like its glare free angled work

Mitico

That's great! Thank You very much!!! Peace and good to You! 👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪!!!

Can you share link to tac pack please? Thank you

Very nice but way not use a wire bridge its sone in like 4m

Interesting way to fix it. And as other said, should work for an eternity. Like it!

Thank you for that video.

Well you need to apply green mask on it cause in future it will develop corrosion on that soldering joint ... Otherwise all video is awesome
