    One of the relays on my Taxi has two lifted pads from some work the previous owner did. When I say "lifted", I mean clean off:

    These pads don't look to be through-holes, so I guess I'm lucky, there.

    What are some methods you guys would use to either repair these holes? Is there a hacky approach that works and doesn't look terrible?

    I could do the trace repair if I could figure out how to adhere the header to the board.

    Does anyone have any other ideas about how to repair this? If I have to, I guess I can just pay 25 bucks for a new relay assembly and throw this thing away. Seems like a waste, though.

    I was considering superglue, but I didn't know if that would cause any problems. This relay goes into backbox, so there wouldn't be any vibration to worry about.

    So you guys think I can just glue those lifted pads back to the board, and then stick the header pins through them and solder them to the glued pads? I can run wire to the broken traces from there if I have to.
