Circuit Board Repair

I was doing some electronics work when I accidentally got a 12v wire short to ground :-(. It ended up burning some of the etching off of a circuit board. Does anyone know how to repair the etching on the circuit board? Radio Shack doesn’t have anything and soldering of course is not an options (heat).

HELP!!

My apologizes if this isn't the correct place to post this question.

You could buy yourself a circuit works conductive pen. You can even solder to it if you're pretty good. It's manufactured by Chemtronics and you can buy it online or at most better electronics stores. I've used it before and it's a good product.

What sort of application is this that makes it so sensitive to heat that you can't solder a wire in? You could use a heatsink clip when soldering too, that would let you get at components that are particularly sensitive.

Don't forget to wire in a fuse this time smile
