I have been repairing some devices but some of them have the pad connection ripped off so I can not repair the USB tips. I have found out how to repair the ripped connection which is the following procedure; Either a conductive liquid or film epoxy is put on the ripped connection area, then the copper foil or ripped off connection is placed on top, and lastly a piece of Kapton tape goes on top of that so it can cure or the film epoxy can be heated up correctly.

Now with this procedure I have a lot of devices so I have to find a liquid epoxy that has a long working time or the film and just cut out the pieces. My problem is I can not find a liquid that will last longer than a couple of minutes. I have been looking for a film that would work but it is either way too expensive or untraceable to find out how much it is to buy it.

Do you know of any conductive films that would be able to help me?

Maybe its me not understanding, but how about conductive copper tape with an adhesive backing? Then you don't have the separate adhesive.

Here is one example -- http://www.amazon.com/JVCC-CFL-5CA-Copper-Conductive-Adhesive/dp/B000UZ8SJK. This was just the first google link I clicked on.

Well i will be using the conductive copper tape but would it be strong enough to hold on to the board without an epoxy?

Hmm. I don't know. I use the tape for electrolumenescent wire connections, which a solid core and two outer wires thinner than a hair to connect. I wrap the copper wire around the EL, solder the hair wire to it, then solder a connecting wire to the tape also. Slightly different situation.
