I thought I would share how to repair missing traces on the circuit board.
Im using self adhesive coper tape and put solder to the top.
At the end I put green epoxy to fix the new trace (it is not done yet on the pictures)

Looks good. Guess you tested the continuity 1st - carbon being conductive and all.. nice idea though.. have done similar with edge connector on an Asteroids..
 
That looks nice. Do you also have a solution for via’s in the print?
Could you explain what is the meaning of the via's in the print sorry but I dont know what do you mean.
 
On a pcb you have tracks on both sides most of the time. These tracks are connected through the print with a via. This is a small copper pipe with solder in it.

This stuff is also looks good but I have not tried yet
Ooh thanks. That is great.
You are welcome
 
Ok I understand now
You can buy a brass rivet to the trough holes.
£1.35 24%OFF | 500pcs /lot M0.9(d)*2.5mm / 3mm (L) Brass / Not Copper Hollow Rivet Double-sided circuit board PCB 0.9mm vias nails rivet

These work great for through holes. For vias, you would probably need to drill them out first to create a bigger hole.
