You can always take some solid core wire and attach from a good portion of etch to the component if all else fails. The same can be done if you have etch on both sides of the PCB. Just be careful with the amount of heat you use in either case. Don't want to make things worse!! :lol:

I might end up doing that eventually if i'm not happy with the results of this. The scrape the trace method is good but quite fiddly :lol:
