circuit connection

[clickit]

What is the most sure fire way to make a connection to a circuit printed on plastic?
I need to run a pair of wires to an external switch.

You need to connect some wires to a PC board, and the substrait is plastic? I hope you have really good soldering skills...

In any case, you need a good low temperature solder and iron. My grandson is an expert at this stuff, but myself I'd probably melt the board.

Yes, I have good skills and have done things like that but not being infallible I have a few failures.
Actually I have been thinking to span the printed circuit at appropriate points with cyanoacrylate and shim brass the slipping a #26 wire or shim brass (possibly folded) underneath the bridge. Because the case has raised ribs of stiff plastic forming a grid with crossings below the buttons, I think the arrangement might be held in place by friction. There may be better methods and am hoping someone has found one better than this or soldering. By the way I found soldering to this requires quickness, considerable prior planning, and a wet paper towel to dissipate heat works (sometimes).

Yes, I think a wet paper towel over the board with just a little hole where the wire is to be attached would work ok. Use a good low-temperature solder. Here's the Wikipedia page on solder with a good characteristics chart: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Solder
