I'll need another gold.

I tried soldering over the thin traces and it worked perfectly. Just tedious and very very hard to be precise.

My goal was to make it look like the MR V2 clampcard:



Here's one on my MKVI. I also shaved is super thin, so I could use it for touch plate activation (needs to flex)


Here's the other side of the other one... the rounded thick traces.








to do it... I had to use a tiny amount of solder on the tip of the iron. I masked off the thick traces, and lightly traced them with the tip. Then used soldering brad to remove the excess and thin it out.

WOW! Awesome pics, Scott!

It never occurred to me that these would work on a ROTJ Luke V2, GREAT JOB!

The soldering looks perfect!  Absolutely awesome!

Ok for you guys who wanna try this. The video makes it a little easier to see how it looks with light reflections and variations.
