[sdiy] [OT] UV solder mask vs JBWeld/Gorilla Weld

[Barry Klein]

Sorry for the OT post but I don’t frequent other electronics forums and am hoping some of you have experience with this.  I am repairing a torn flex circuit.  I have the hardest part done - I used wires from solder wick - twisted a couple together, applied solder paste on pads scraped clear on the broken traces, and have all jumpered across nicely.  But these wires have no strength. I have both flex pieces crazy glued to a thin metal base.  I intend to free them from it using a razor blade after I apply either uv soldermask or jbweld over the joints.  I’m afraid the JBWeld won’t adhere and afraid the UV solder mask won’t adhere or solidify.  Maybe it will harden if I use really thin coats but likely doesn’t adhere to the kapton.  Any advice?
