Fix a trace?

Hey,


One of my enclosures was a bit too small, pushed a part, tearing the trace away from the board. Still works,  but is there a way to make it more secure?

Thanks

make what secure, the trace to the board?  probably not, maybe try some krazy glue, but before I did that I would put a blob of solder on the non-trace side of the lead, sandwiching the lead onto the board with two blobs of solder, if that makes any sense.

Hi friend,
When it happens to me I remove the teared trace
part and use a resistor lead to make a bridge. Copper
traces don't last too much when not well fixed to the board.

Thanks
