I am working with some tiny electronics. I needed to solder a bunch of 24 gauge wire onto the surface of a PCB right next to each other. I put some solder on the wires and was touching them to the board and then touching the soldering iron to the connection to melt them together. Anyway, my hand slipped on the 4th wire and I smeared a little solder across 2 connections. I tried using a desoldering braid to remove the solder from the board on those connections, but there is still a little solder residue smeared on the board shorting the connection. Anyone have a good method for removing the solder at this point?
I was thinking about using a razor and attempting to remove the solder mask between the 2 joints, then putting a line of superglue between the connections to act as a new solder mask. I have never done this before, but it seems to me like it should work.
There is less than 1mm of space between the connections.
Any other ideas?
