I messed up a couple of traces on a Ducky board I was taking some bad switches off, after much looking and finally thinking I would have to use wire and go across the bad spots I found a trace repair liquid that seems to work very well, at least my meter says it works. I'm still waiting for the new switches to arrive to know for sure but here is the product if anyone wants to try it or has tried it let me know how it worked for you and if it holds solder, thats still the big question I have. ( MG Chemicals 840-20G Nickel Print Repairing ).

Why don't you just take some fine wire, solder it to the bad trace or area, follow that trace to the other side where it ends, and solder directly to that side?

Well that was the first thing I thought of but I lost some of the soldering pads and was hoping this stuff could rebuild what was messed up and it did so I just brought the lines over to the diodes and seems like it will work without wires. Will find out when I get the switches.
