If you're super-careful and you have a mega-steady hand, http://www.kemtron.co.uk/e-shop/cond...-adhesive.html. I used to use it for repairing quartz watches when I was working as a watchmaker/repairer.
Saves any further heat damage.
Like this idea and will be the only option not to use soldering equipment especially for those unable to solder onto tiny pads or attatch link wire even a more of a nightmare.

It is however possible to scrape away the paint and bare tracks to enable link wire to be soldered along a bare track when both track and wire have been tinned first before attempting to attach the link wire to the track, try not to solder directly onto a surface mounted component unless your iron has a very sharp tip and are quick about it.
