Subject: Re: How to Repair Copper Trace on PCB

Brad,
Thanks for your input. One of the difficulties I have is that the PCB has a coating (is it call conformal coating) of plastic on it. Obviously, making it difficult to solder anything to it.

Also, since there is a capacitor that has leaked, some of the coating has come off/up, making it difficult to see if the trace is still there or eaten away.

I don't know much about the fluid in caps and assuming it maybe corrosive...
