  1. So I have been asked how I get the wires following the tracks, so here is how I do it, a Sunday afternoon repair thread! firstly pre tin the track and wire, tack the wire onto a good part of the track and tack in place, in this case the via is a good place to start! then bend the wire in place and hold with tweezers or fingers! use the hot end of a hot stick so solder it to the track, to the corner bend in this case then poke it down the via where you want it to go! straighten the wire up and solder! then make sure the whole wire is soldered nicely down onto the track to finish that wire then same again with the next! tack the wire in the via bend it to follow the track turn the corner! while bending the wire I held it in place with tweezers same as before into the via hole, then make sure it is soldered along its length next..... the same really, solder, bend follow the track and solder as you go Bend round the corners until you reach the end of where you want to solder to, cut the wire to length hold it onto the track and solder so it is as flush as possible and then admire your work! clean the flux off and it looks so much nicer!!! that is that bit done!! that is how I do it, there are other ways of course so use the way you like to repair tracks
