Step 9Repair the Trace
Using the Conductive Ink Dispenser, carefully dab the ink from a good spot of the trace before the problem area, over the problem area and into a good spot after the problem area.
Don't "draw" it on like an ink pen or felt marker! The liquid component in this pen will dissolve the original tracing material and break it if you scratch across it. Just dab lightly to cover the area. Also be careful not to get too near another trace.
Use a weight to hold the other sheets away from this area for at least 10 minutes to let it dry.
After 10 minutes, test across the problem area. Don't measure on the patched area, but the original traces before and after the patch. We now measure about 2 ohms. I'd call that a success!
Now for the hard part! :)
