Is it possible to repair a cracked PCB? I have something (not a Boss pedal) where a switch has been impacted and broken the PCB around the pins. For the moment I've jumpered over them but that means the switch function is disabled. If anybody has advice on the right glue to use and the right way to go about it, I'd be very grateful.

Hi nathanscribe

There is no typical repair method for this type of fault,
every repair job is individual,
as in PCB material.
Length of cracks.
How severe.
You get the idea.

Please upload some pics, so we can see the type, & extents of the damage.

Most times it's a combination of methods.

Regards Dr. Bob

Here are two old pics, taken before I soldered jumper wires across. Sorry for the low quality:
