Subject:      What adhesive to use on dash foil?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

A few years back I was trying to track down a problem with my TS
flasher LED not coming on and somehow shot the juice to a circuit in
the dash foil that smoked about a half inch of copper out of one of
the circuits. The foil already had one break in it that I knew of. I
would like to repair bridge the gap with some of that window defroster
repair stuff that everybody talks about. But, before I do, I need to
reattach several inched of loose copper that burned away from the
mylar backing as well as tidy up a few other places where the laminate
has rolled back at the edges.

Superglue would probably do a great job in the short run, but it would
probably not stay attached to the mylar. Any ideas of what to use for
this repair? Thin double stick tape?
