[sdiy] PCB layout mistake = Aaron curls up in a ball in the corner and cries

[John Loffink]

Best practice is to use 30 gauge wire wrap wire for the connections, 
then super glue the wires to the top of the IC.

The other solution for just swapping pins is to use solid core 22-24 ga 
from the PCB holes to the clipped pins.  For that short length it would 
be very stable.
