| Jul 30, 2014 at 19:05 | comment | added | Joel B | @Passerby - totally agree, but since this is an extremely high rated question about repairing a trace, I was simply pointing out that someone would stumble on this thread as trace repair help and wonder why their homebrew wireless project wasn't working. The only impedance concern here is the real resistance, but that isn't always the case. | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 22:22 | comment | added | Joel B | +1 for mentioning the impedance concerns. I promise someone with a high-speed differential signal line will spend countless hours wondering why the info they got from this thread didn't work for their unmatched jumper wire. | |
