Loctite Tak Pak

Over on How To Repair Damaged / Broken PCB Traces – 2 Great Methods, Mr SolderFix says that Loctite Tak Pak is good PCB glue. He recommends the Loctite SF 7455 activator, and the Loctite 382 instant adhesive. I tried to find some for purchase but it’s only available via international shipping and costs a fortune.

I have some glue in my drawer, particularly 24x 3G Super Glue for Plastic, Leather, Ceramics, Rubber, Metal, Wood Super Glue. Might give that a go for wiring a bodge wire to a PCB to see if it works okay or not.

My solder

My solder is Loctite (Multicore) 60/40 C511 5C 0.56mm 0.25kg. It’s a 60/40 tin/lead alloy. Diameter is 0.56mm. I think the melting point for tin/lead alloy is around about 180-190°C.

I’m gonna get myself some lead free solder, probably this 812020 Solder Wire, Lead Free, High Activity, 0.5mm Diameter, 217°C, 250g, Alloy 97.1, 2.6, 0.3 Sn, Ag, Cu.
