Can anyone recommend a glue or way to attach the copper back to the plastic in my 72 instrument panel (printed circuit board)? 3 of the copper things are seperated and I'm not getting a reliable ground for the cluster lights. Thanks for any help!
if your just needing to hold down the copper wire to the plastic overlay,
see if your wife has a glues stick in her drawer of odds and ends.
looks like a lipstick tube but is glue.
works real well.
If you have broken connections it can be fixed if you are real careful.
you need flux and a good iron to mend it.
peel it away from the overlay to work your repair and glue it back down.
Just a page from my "If its already Broke....I can't hurt it files"
I have seen a paint in JC Whitney catalog that is for fixing heated rear window elements - simply clean and paint it on where the breaks occur -- then you can take duct tape and sandwich the separated plastic circuit panel around the edges with the tape since nobody sees it anyway.
Thanks guys. I used a 2 part plastic super glue to attach the copper, then scraped the copper with a razor blade to clean the contact area. I checked continuity over the copper surfaces and am glad to say my lights and gauges now work.
