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?

Can you laminate your repair with one or several layers of oversized 
kapton tape on each side and cut to shape appropriately?
