Bill,

The draft of the IPC-R-700D has a repair method for repairing mechanical 
or thermal damage to PC board material. The method is to be used when 
extended areas of base material must be completely replaced. A damaged 
corner is used in the example. The method requires machining a tongue and 
grove piece to replace the damaged area.

If you would e-mail me your fax number I will fax you a copy of the draft 
of this test method. You can also give Jeff Ferry of Circuit Repair Corp. 
(508) 948-7973 a call. He is one of the co-chairman for the R-700.
