I've been registered on this forum for probably over a year, and just in the past few months, I've started bending and experimenting with my toys again (wild guess what brought this on, lol). Anyway, one of the most promising keyboards I had has now lost several solder pads to my incompetence as a solderer.

I've read in one place online that you can buy silver epoxy (though a bit pricey) to effectively replace the pads, but given the possibility that I could spend $50+ on it and then screw up while applying it to the board, I'm open to other advice. Normally I just scrape away at the trace and see if I can get the solder to stick, but the number and placement of the missing traces would make that impractical.

Anyway, first post Glad to be back in the business of making noise.

Replacing a solder pad that you could actually solder to wouldn't be cheap or easy.
Have you considered just tracing the track back to another solder point and taking a wire from there to whatever component pin that has lost its pad.

Its a bit difficult to advise with a better idea of exactly what you mean. Do you have a photo?
