[sdiy] Best way to repair traces

OK, so I am quite annoyed with myself right about now.

I was making a modification per factory instructions to a MoogerFooger. One
step was to cut a couple of traces. In addition to cutting the wrong traces,
I also managed to mangle an adjacent trace, sigh...

The "wrong" cut traces were easy enough to repair as they were connecting
three adjacent pins on an IC. A piece of buss wire fixed that. But the trace
adjacent to that IC is a very fine trace cut in two places.

What I did was carefully scrape the solder mask off, flux it, and soldered a
small piece of buss wire along it. Will that be a reliable fix, or should I
have done it differently?

Right now at 2:00 am, I'm not in the best frame of mind for rational
thought...

David
