Occasionally I have been asked if there is some type of mechanical repair
process for PCBs with edge contacts that exceed the thickness measured at
the contacts.  I have heard that there is a process to machine out an edge
'kerf,' squeeze the PCB down to size and epoxy it to required thickness.
Does anyone perform this type of repair?  Where can I find out info. on
this?
Is there any method that has been tried and was successful which uses
pressure (like from a press) to squeeze edge metallization down? (This
pressure method would appear to be less intrusive than the machining method
above since the board is not cut.)
