"Cut the trace" - how?

Post by rdosser »

I've got several SpokePOV sets under my belt, but there's an issue that's dogging me - "cutting the trace" for the third battery on a blue set.

I've read the instructions and all the comments I can find, but I don't exactly know what "cut the trace" means - specifically, what it should look like when I'm done. I've scored the trace repeatedly and exposed the copper underneath - does the copper need to get cut? That's going to take a lot more than just "running an exacto knife over it a couple of times," but that's what I've read is all I need to do. The third battery still runs hot, so I know I'm not there.

Any help is appreciated, and thanks in advance.
