Modular Synth Panels

I answered the comment.  If you want to solder in only one end of the 
resistor and run a wire from the other end, you don't need to cut 
traces.  That's not mechanically sound and risks breaking the resistor.  
I solder in both ends of the resistor with a wire under one end on the 
top of the board.

For trace cutting I use an Xacto knife mostly.  A Dremel tool with a 
small cutting tip works, too.
