| "Glue" for lifted traces on PCB ? |
| (1/3) > >> |
| lordvader88:
I'm working on a PSU and the mains power comes into 2 blade type connectors, and on both of them, the blades, solder pools and big copper traces have lifted off around the through holes. It's on a standard single sided fiberglass PCB. What kind of glue or epoxy or whatever is used to fix that ? (If I wanted to restore properly rather than cutting off the blades/loose trace area) |

Can You show a Picture of this? |

I've had some luck using ordinary superglue, although it will release if you get it too hot usually it will hold well enough to solder the part which then tends to hold down the trace. |
| SeanB:
Superglue to hold the traces down, and add strain relief as the superglue bond is not going to survive flexing and stress, which is what lifted them off in the first place. solve the stress and the glue will hold them in place. |

This is what I use. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/chemtronics/CW2500/CW2500-ND/1929217 It says overcoat but it works well as and undercoating and holds up to iron temps as long as you aren't going crazy. |
